If you are wondering if there is more to your Rotary journey - there is!I invite you to explore a few areas and make a plan to expand your Rotary game. If you want to lead or get noticed, this is a must for you to explore.
For club leaders, this is a way to retain and attract members. Rise to discuss this article at your next club meeting. Along the way you the doer will meet a whole bunch of new teammates and in return this experience will help your club immensely - especially if you are looking to up your game.
Check out what others are doing around the world in Rotary Action Groups - or RAGs - and in Rotary Fellowships.
Will you be the first in your club to join or are there others? Most have an annual membership fee of $20 and some even less - but the value is well worth it!
RAGs are networks of Rotarians from around the world who are invested in an area of focus - in whole or in part. If you get engaged in a RAG these folks will become your friends because what drives you is a common cause.
This past April at the District Conference we learned that local success includes developing deep partnerships with our agencies and organizations so that we can meet the emerging needs in our communities.
Outside our club area and our District there are other parts of the world also in need.
Both can be served through grants from our Foundation – and if your club has its own foundation this adds an exciting component to project development.
As we now turn our attention to Rotary events and projects for the remainder of the year, I invite you to look at yourself and others in your club as to who might be interested in working on District committees including our Foundation.
Most clubs have identified a Foundation rep, but some have not so if your club is in the latter category, please find a volunteer.
If you want to develop your secretarial and organizational skills - you would be most welcome to help out…and bring a friend.
This work helps all clubs in our District.
