Rotary International Comments:

Seeking new members Clubs must have a specific plan in place, says Past RI President Dochterman.

1. Use a team approach. Teams should have several members who meet with qualified business and professional leaders to discuss the benefits of joining Rotary.
2. Set aside one club meeting per month to be a “visitor day,” to which all club members would invite a friend or prospective member.
3. Seek out natural prospects, including Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholars, Rotaractors, and Group Study Exchange (GSE) team members.

Rotary International Comments:

Attendance
Attending club meetings allows members to enjoy their club’s fellowship, enrich their professional and personal knowledge, and meet other business leaders in their community. Club meeting times vary to accommodate members’ family and professional commitments. Some clubs meet during the traditional time of the lunch hour, while others meet in the early morning, after work, or in the evening.

Rotary policy requires members to attend at least 50 percent of club meetings in each half of the year. If members miss their own club’s meeting, they’re encouraged to expand their Rotary horizons by attending make-up meetings at any Rotary club in the world ‚Äî a practice that guarantees Rotarians a warm welcome in communities around the globe. Find local meeting places and times on the back of this Bulletin.
