Sharing Rotary with New Members
The goal is one new member in each club. But the Rotary Club of Anguilla can do much better than that!
The Rotary policy on club membership states: “In order for a Rotary club to be fully relevant to its community and responsive to the needs of those in the community, it is important and necessary that the club include in its membership all fully qualified prospective members located within its territory.”
One merely has to glance through the yellow pages of the local telephone directory to realize that most clubs have not invited qualified members of all businesses and professions into Rotary.
Only a Rotarian may propose a customer, neighbour, client, supplier, executive, relative, business associate, professional or other qualified person to join a Rotary club.
Have you accepted your obligation to share Rotary?
The procedures are very simple, and everyone must know at least one person who should belong to Rotary.
Take some action - one step at a time
As members of the Rotary Club of Anguilla, let’s make a list of community leaders who should be Rotarians. Let’s get them on a PROSPECTIVE MEMBERS list. From there, we can move forward with preparing to educate them about Rotary before we invite them to become members.
Prospective members should know the benefits – and obligations – of Rotary BEFORE they are invited to join us at a meeting.
Whom do you know in Anguilla who would make an excellent Rotarian?
-- One who will become inspired to join the club
-- One who can commit to attending the weekly meetings
-- One who will participate in the club activities
-- One who will participate in community projects
-- One who wants to make a difference in the world, and
-- One who WILL make a difference to Rotary in Anguilla
Let’s every single one of us add a few names to our list of prospective members now and keep the list growing so that we can invite all prospective members to an information meeting in the near future!
