Posted by Dave Hurt Want to Grow your
Club?
Dave Hurt (District
Membership Coordinator) I was recently asked by a
new incoming club president my thoughts on
growing a dynamic club. My answer was to look at
the club as a building with four pillars that
provided the strength of a good foundation for
long-term success. The Four Pillars of a
Successful Club Each of these four pillars of
success has a key purpose in building and
sustaining a vibrant club. The pillars are 1)
Membership, 2) Programs, 3) Projects, and 4) Fund
Raising. Build on each of these pillars and you
will develop an outstanding Rotary Club. As many
District clubs have learned these past two years,
club membership growth solves many issues facing
Rotary clubs today. You will also find that
growing membership is a cornerstone pillar in
your club. But club growth is not achieved with
a focus only on adding new members, although that
is obviously one requisite for growth. In
addition to the membership pillar, there are
three additional pillars in the club foundation
that must be strong in order to retain members
1) the project pillar, 2) the programs pillar,
and 3) the fundraising pillar. The August 22
District Seminar has been designed to help clubs
build their membership, leadership, and project
skillswith a minimum of time and cost. Come as
a club TEAMand the event will help build that
team there is no better way to train club
leaders than to attend District functions! So
plan to attend the District Membership/Foundation
Seminar August 22 and you will see all four club
success pillars in action, and grow your team
at the same time. If you want to attract and
keep like-minded, quality individuals in your
club, then this seminar is a must. Mark August 22
in your calendarGet your club team togetherAnd
sign up today!

Polio Today Today, there are only three
countries that have never stopped transmission of
the wild poliovirus Afghanistan, Nigeria, and
Pakistan. Less than 370 polio cases were
confirmed worldwide in 2014, which is a reduction
of more than 99 percent since the 1980s, when the
world saw about 1,000 cases per day. Ensuring
Success Every dollar Rotary commits to polio
eradication will be matched two-to-one by the
Bill Melinda Gates Foundation up to 35 million
a year through 2018. These funds help to provide
much-needed operational support, medical
personnel, laboratory equipment, and educational
materials for health workers and parents.
Governments, corporations and private individuals
all play a crucial role in funding. Rotary in
Action More than one million Rotary members have
donated their time and personal resources to end
polio. Every year, hundreds of Rotary members
work side-by-side with health workers to
vaccinate children in polio-affected countries.
Rotarians work with UNICEF and other partners to
prepare and distribute mass communication tools
to reach people in areas isolated by conflict,
geography, or poverty. Rotary members also
recruit fellow volunteers, assist with
transporting the vaccine, and provide other
logistical support.
We have the New Rotarian at work Rotary shirts
in. If you would like to purchase one they are
13.50. See Kelly Lewis /
