August is Rotary Membership Month, and we'd like to challenge every member to help our club grow.
Think about it: most of us are Rotarians today because someone invited us. A simple invitation to attend a meeting was all it took to open the door to new friendships, service opportunities, and community impact.
This month, we challenge each member to:
☐ Invite a friend, colleague, neighbor, or community leader to attend a Rotary meeting.
OR
☐ If you're not comfortable making the invitation yourself, give the name of one or two people who might be a good fit for Rotary to a board member. We'd be happy to reach out, answer questions, and extend an invitation on your behalf.
The strongest clubs grow through personal connections. There are people in our community who share Rotary's values of service, leadership, and fellowship. They simply need someone to invite them.
Who invited you to Rotary? Now is a great time to pay that invitation forward!
