(I)Preface

• (3)2003-04, RI President Jonathan Majiyagbe
  understood about the importance of membership
  development. Except for the emphasis on poverty
  alleviation, literacy and education, health
  concern, he particularly put on The Family of
  Rotary as our main concept .Through serving and
  caring the non-Rotarian, such as spouse and
  children, widow or widower of passed Rotarians
  and other community associates, we should be able
  to improve our rotary image. This Family of
  Rotary concept promotes retentiopn and
  encourages clubs to continually communicates with
  and involve all Rotarian family members in
  programs and projects.
