SAMPLE PLAN
Membership Development Plan
July 2016
1. Adopt the District Governor's Membership Goal of at least one (1) net new
member for clubs less than SO members and at least two (2) net new
members for clubs more than SO members during the Rotary year.
2. Encourage regular attendance of club members to try to maintain at least
an 80% attendance rate. Emphasize to the members that with a small club
the absence of just 2 members makes a big difference to this rate. Ask
members to be diligent in recording make-ups to help this.
3. Appoint a Club Membership Chair who will be responsible for all the
activities related to member recruitment/retention. They will be asked to
provide a "Membership Moment" at the club to maintain the importance
of our membership goal.
4. Develop a new member application package including an application form,
a recent copy of The Rotarian magazine, an ABC's of Rotary pamphlet and
club brochure.
5. Appoint a member to assign a list of greeters at each lunch meeting.
6. The Membership Chair will be responsible for member classifications and
finding new members with classifications of interest to the club.
7. When new members are inducted, the sponsor & mentor should be
involved in the ceremony and be fully recognized for their efforts.
8. All new members should wear their Red Badges until they have completed
the requirements of the Red Badge Check List. Upon completion, make
sure the Red Badge Exchange for Blue Badge ceremony is very meaningful
accomplishment.
9. Appoint a member to encourage the club to provide interesting weekly
speakers through a membership roster and invite visitors and guests to
attend the meetings.
10. Contact the PR or HR directors of local area companies and ask them to
announce our weekly meetings in their bulletins or employee website.
11. For member retention} we need to call each member that misses a weekly
meeting to let them know that they were missed and ask if there were any
extenuating circumstances. Inform them of local and online makeup
possibilities.
12. The President will personally encourage each individual member to make
every effort to recruit at least one new member to the club.

SECTION 4
Rotary
MEMBERSHIP GROWTH & RETENTION District 5890 Strategic Plan 2016-2017
Ann Wright, District Membership Co-Chair Derrill Painter, District Membership Co-Chair
Membership Growth Challenges 1. Decreasing Membership
a. Insufficient emphasis on membership by club leadership. b. New members not immediately engaged in club activities or involved in a club
project. c. Overall club experience less attractive than other commitments. d. Retention rate low due to lack of immediate club involvement and poor new
member orientation. e. Lack of service projects that meet members interest or community needs f. Weak club programs and meetings are not fun or exciting. g. Members feeling isolated and not part of the group. h. Lack of fellowshipping activities.
2. Insufficient new members a. Club leadership and individual Rotarians do not accept personal responsibility for
recruiting/retaining members b. Lack of interest in identifying and inviting potential members to club. c. Lack of community awareness of Rotary due to poor communication of club's
projects and programs. d. Lack of effort to recruit diverse people.

Dear Club President,
Rotary
Eric Liu Governor, District 5890
2016-2017
I am writing to request your help in addressing Membership Growth/Retention and to continue our success in Growing Rotary to impact Rotary's ability to continue to serve mankind. I am asking you to exert your leadership and help me continue the upward trend in membership growth/retention in our district.
This year we are implementing some extraordinary measures to stimulate all Rotarians to help increase membership and retention. The most important element of our year-long effort is your personal commitment and support, as Club President, for energizing your own club to reach a challenging net membership goal.
Specifically, I am asking you to commit to the following:
1. Appoint a Club Membership Chair (CMC) who will be responsible for developing a Membership Committee to oversee all activities related to member recruitment/retention.
2. In concert with your CMC, develop a written Membership Plan directed toward achieving net club membership growth of at least one (1) member for clubs less than 50 members and at least two members (2) for clubs with 50 plus members by June 30, 2017, using your Club's July 1, 2016 official RI report as a starting point.
3. Personally lead a delegation ofyour Club's membership committee, along with your President-elect, Club Secretary, program chair, and any other interested members, to participate in the District Membership Seminar set for Saturday, July 23rd. Our District Membership Co-Chairs, Derrill Painter & Ann Wright, have developed an agenda of top speakers who will offer creative and innovative ideas to help your Club meet its June 30, 2017 target.
We are planning an extensive internal and external promotion program to raise the visibility of Rotary membership. Also, we will implement a special recognition program to focus attention on membership growth/retention as top priorities. For example, at our District Conference, the top five Clubs will be recognized, as will the top 5 individual Rotarians who sponsored new members.
There's no reason to wait for the July 23rd seminar. There are many things you and your CMC can do - beginning now. Fifteen ideas and actions you can take now are outlined in attachment A. If you elect to try Number 13 on the list, you will undoubtedly generate many more action items and get a jump-start on expanding your membership.
Attachment B is a response form addressed to me, which I am asking you to sign and return by no later than July 20th 2016. I am anxious to see your reply, so if you can respond earlier, please do so. Complete details are provided below to facilitate your responses to this urgent request. Please help me with Rotary Serving Humanity by guiding your Club to meet this challenge.
Yours in Rotary,

A- Fifteen Ideas and Actions You Can Take Now These thoughts were collected from club presidents, Rotary members, and represent only a few ways to generate interest and enthusiasm for expanding Club membership.
B- President's Resp-onse to District Governor Please send your response in time to be received by July 20,2016. Your response may be emailed to Ann Wright, District Membership Co-Chair at awright [email protected]. Ann's telephone numbers are: OFFICE -713.647.8400 or CELL 832.647.4700.
NOTE: Your Club Membership Goals should be posted on Club Central by July 20, 2016. The District Membership Leadership Team will review your goals and help support and reinforce your goals during my official visit to your Club.
DG Letter, ATTACHMENT A FIFTEEN IDEAS AND ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE NOW
The Starting Point
Expanding the membership of a Rotary Club begins with the President taking t1ve critical steps:
1) Establish a goal for net membership growth for the President's year. The President's leadership is essential, and should include gaining "buy in" from the Board and from the Club members as well. Ask every member to help achieve the goal.
2) Select a Membership Chair who will coordinate all Club activities related to membership. The individual selected should be a knowledgeable Rotarian who exudes enthusiasm and commitment to achieving membership/retention goals. The Membership Chair's most important initial responsibility is to develop, working with the President, a written Membership Plan.
3) Coach the Membership Chair in recruiting a membership committee, and insure that individual responsibility is assigned to committee members for all aspects of membership recruitment, orientation, and retention.
4) Finalize/Approve a written Membership Plan. Working with the Membership Chair, be sure the Plan includes specific activities for both recruitment and retention of members. Get the Board involved in improving the Plan, and in understanding the impact of all Club activities on membership growth/retention.
5) Present (sell) the Plan to the Club. Strive to make the Plan become the "Club's Plan", so the goal becomes "our goal" that "we" are targeting to accomplish. Ask every member to help support the Plan.
Steps You Can Take NOW (in no particular order)
6) Assign responsibility for Greeters. Making people feel welcome is an important aspect of making a Club meeting a friendly, inviting, and enjoyable activity. Many clubs find that assigning a new member paired with an experienced member helps get members and guests better acquainted. Delegate someone to manage this week to week.
7) Recognize sponsors of new members. Personal recognition and sincere appreciation from the President is a proven effective motivator. Some Clubs also give sponsors a special Rotary emblem, or affix a "Sponsor" sticker to Club name badges.
8) Get new members involved immediately. Ask new members to JOm specific committees, club projects, or serve as a greeter. Building connections and a bond of friendship with other members will help new members feel comfortable in the Club.
9) Learn from members that leave. Analyze members who left the Club in the prior two years. Why did they leave? What changes would make Club membership more attractive? For current year, ask the membership committee to establish an exit
DG Letter, ATTACHMENT A interview process. (Sample exit survey form found in the Membership Development Resource Guide - 417 -EN).
1 0) Convert former members to new members. Are any former members now candidates to rejoin your Club? Has their situation changed? Clubs often find former members who miss Rotary, but wait to be asked to come back.
11) Create a brochure or flyer about your club. Your AG can help identify examples from other clubs to quickly get this in place. Be sure to describe your Club's expectations of members, including any fmancial obligations.
12) Review your Club's Policies and Procedures. a. How is a makeup defmed? What if a Club service project lasts two full hours?
Is this one makeup or two? Or none? Does attendance at a Board meeting qualify? Are these policies written and communicated to members, or left to discretion of Club secretary?
b. Are prospective new members asked to pay for their meal when they visit? Are they treated as a guest (non-paying) for multiple meals? Is the sponsor expected to pay? What impact does this have on encouraging members to sponsor new prospects?
c. Does your club offer a "scholarship" program for new younger members (ages 30-35) who cannot afford Club dues, but who otherwise would make excellent Rotarians?
d. How recently has your Club conducted a Member Satisfaction Survey? (Sample survey form found in the Membership Development Resource Guide- 417·· EN).
13) Organize a brain-storming session. Conduct a Board meeting or meeting of the entire Club focused on how to attract and retain members. District Membership Co-Chair Derrill Painter ([email protected]), CELL (832-473-5729) and/or your Area Membership Chair are resources to help you with the event.
14) Plan several high-visibility programs, specifically targeted at attracting guests, spouses, and others who may have an interest in Rotary. For example, ask your local Senator, State Representative, a popular Coach, etc. to speak. Ask your members to invite guests that may have an interest in Rotary membership. Don't forget to invite the Press, and to arrange for publicity in advance.
15) Include a "Membership Moment" in the agenda for every meeting. The membership Chair should be responsible for arranging a one- or two-minute presentation about membership during every weekly meeting. These presentations can be used to provide testimonials from sponsors, award Rotary emblems to sponsors, emphasize certain classifications where members are needed, announce special events for spouses and guests, announce progress in achieving the year's goal, etc., etc. In short, the Membership Moment is intended to keep membership in the forefront of members' minds, and stimulate discussion about how the Club can achieve success.

ROTARY SERVING HUMANITY Rotary has been many things, to many people, in the last 111 years. Through Rotary, our members have found friends, community, and a sense of purpose; we've forged connections, advanced our careers, and had incredible experiences we couldn't have had anywhere else. Every week, in more than 34,000 clubs around the world, Rotarians come together to talk, laugh, and share ideas. But above all, we come together for one, overriding goal: service.
Service to humanity has been the cornerstone of Rotary since its earliest days, and has been its main purpose ever since. I believe that there is no better path to meaningful service today than Rotary membership; and no organization better placed to make a real and positive difference in our world. No other organization so effectively brings together committed, capable professionals in a wide variety of fields,. and enables them to achieve ambitious goals. Through Rotary, we have the capacity, the network, and the knowledge to change the world: the only limits are the ones we place on ourselves.
Today, our organization is at a critical point: a historic juncture that will determine, in so many ways, what comes next. Together, we have provided extraordinary service to our world; tomorrow, our world will depend on us to do even more. Now is the time to capitalize on our success: as we complete the eradication ofpolio, and catapult Rotary forward, with determination and enthusiasm, to be an even greater force for good in the world.
Of the many lessons polio eradication has taught us, one of the most important is also one of the simplest: that if we want to bring all of Rotary forward, we've all got to be moving in the same direction. Continuity ofleadership, at the club, district, and Rilevel, is the only way we will flourish, and achieve our full potential. It is not enough simply to bring in new members and form new clubs: our goal is not more Rotarians, but more Rotarians who can achieve more good Rotary work, and will become the Rotary leaders of tomorrow.
Near the end of his life, reflecting on the path that brought him to Rotary, Paul Harris wrote: "Individual effort may be turned to individual needs, but combined effort should be dedicated to the service of mankind. The power of combined effort knows no limitation." He could hardly have imagined then that one day, more than 1.2 million Rotarians would be combining their efforts, and, through our Rotary Foundation, their resources, to serve humanity together. And we can only imagine what great deeds Paul Harris would have expected of such a Rotary! It is our responsibility to achieve those deeds; as it is our privilege to carry forth the tradition of Rotary Serving Humanity.
Sincerely,
~ John Germ President, Rotary International, 2016-17

"WHY JOIN ROTARY?" ; t._ __ .___ • - • • • . • •k• ••• " ·- • •• .. • ' - •
1. !Friendship:! In an increasingly complex world, Rotary provides one of the most basic human needs: The need for friendship and fellowship. It is one of two reasons why Rotary began in 1905.
2. !Business Development:! The second original reason for Rotary's beginning is business development. Everyone needs to network. Rotary consists of a cross section of every business community. Its members come from all walks of life. Rotarians help each other and collectively help others.
3. !Personal Growth and Development:! Membership in Rotary continues one's growth and education in human relations and personal development.
4. !Leadership Development:! Rotary is an organization of leaders and successful people. Serving in Rotary positions is like college education. Leadership: Learning how to motivate, influence, and lead leaders.
5. !citizenship in the Community:! Membership in a Rotary Club makes one a better community citizen. The average Rotary Club consists of the most active citizens of any community.
6. !continuing Education:! Each week at Rotary there is a program designed to keep one informed about what is going on in the community, nation, and world. Each meeting provides an opportunity to listen to different speakers and a variety of timely topics.
7. IFun:l Rotary is fun, a lot of fun. Each meeting is fun. The Club projects are fun. Social activities are fun. The service is fun.
8. !Public Speaking Skills:l Many individuals who joined Rotary were afraid to speak in public. Rotary develops confidence and skill in public communication and the opportunity to practice and perfect these skills.
9. !citizenship in·the World:l Every Rotarian wears a pin that says "Rotary International." There are few places on the globe that do not have a Rotary Club. Every Rotarian is welcome -even encouraged- to attend any of the 29,000 Clubs in 194 nations and geographical regions. This means instant friends in both one's own community and in the world community.
10.IAssistance when Traveling:! Because there are Rotary Clubs everywhere, many a Rotarian in need of a doctor, lawyer, hotel, dentist, advice, etc., while traveling has found assistance through Rotary.
11 .!Entertainment:! Every Rotary Club and District has parties and activities that provide diversion in one's business life. Rotary holds Conferences, Conventions, Assemblies, and Institutes that provide entertainment in addition to Rotary information, education, and service.
12.lfhe Development of Social Skills:! Every week and at various events and functions, Rotary develops one's personality, social skills, and people skills. Rotary is for people who like people.
13.lFamily Programs: I Rotary provides one of the world's largest youth exchange programs; high school and college clubs for future Rotarians; opportunities for spouse involvement; and a host of activities designed to help family members in growth and the development of family values.
14.1Vocational Skills:l Every Rotarian is expected to take part in the growth and development of his or her own profession or vocation; to serve on Committees and to teach youth about one's job or vocation. Rotary helps to make one a better doctor, lawyer, teacher, etc.
15.lfhe Development of Ethics:! Rotarians practice a 4-Way Test that governs one's ethical standards. Rotarians are expected to be ethical in business and personal relationships.
16.1Cultural Awareness:! Around the world, practically every religion, country, culture, race, creed, political persuasion, language, color, and ethnic identity is found in Rotary. It is a cross section of the world's most prominent citizens from every background. Rotarians become aware of their cultures and learn to love and work with people everywhere. They become better citizens of their countries in the process.
17.1Prestige:l Rotary members are prominent people: Leaders of business, the professions, art, government, sports, military, religion, and all disciplines. Rotary is the oldest and most prestigious service club in the world. Its ranks include executives, managers, professionalspeople who make decisions and influence policy.
18.INice People:l Rotarians above all are nice people- the nicest people on the face of the earth. They are important people who follow the policy of it is nice to be important but it is important to be nice.
19.lfhe Absence of an "Official Creed":l Rotary has no secret handshake, no secret policy, no official creed, no secret meeting or rituals. It is an open society of men and women who simply believe in helping others.
20.Ifhe Opportunity to Serve:l Rotary is a service club. Its business is mankind. Its product is service. Rotarians provide community se1vice to both local and international communities. This is perhaps the best reason for becoming a Rotarian: The chance to do something for somebody else and to sense the self-fulfillment that comes in the process and return of that satisfaction to one's own life. It is richly rewarding.

15 +TIPS FOR SU CESSFUL CLUBS '
It is suggested that the Club Membership Chairman and Committee choose four (4) of the following tips, then organize the Club to complete one each quarter.
1. !Proposal Card! At a Club meeting have every Member fill out a Proposal Card. Follow-up by assigning individuals to invite the proposed individual to a Club meeting or service project.
2. !Friends of the Club PresidEmij The Club President asks three (3) Members as a personal favor to propose a new Member within a month. When the first one does so, approach another the same way so as to always have three (3) Members working on a personal pledge to the Presidents.
3. !Simultaneous Inductees! ... Induct several new members into the Club simultaneously. This is especially good when they are the same age.
4. !Former Members! ... Encourage the Membership Committee to develop a list of former Club members. Ask a current member to invite the former members to rejoin your Club or encourage them to join another Club.
5. !community Projectsi ... A successful project attracts new members. Encourage Club members to invite their friends to participate in a worthwhile community project.
6. !Six-Month Planl ... Encourage! every new member to bring in another new member within six months. A district in Arkansas, USA, experienced 17 percent growth using this plan.
7. !Five for One Teami ... Divide the Club into groups of 5. Assign each group to bring in at least om~ new member within three (3) months. Make this a contest with prope!r recognition for the winning group.
8. !Rotary Guest DaYJ ... Develop a list of potential members and distribute invitations to those on the list. Host a meal and information evening for those who accept the invitation.
9. ISurveYJ ... Conduct a survey to help members consider contacts they know who might be potential members.
10. ICiassificationSI ... The Rotary Club of Trenton, Ontario, Canada, reads a list of unfilled classifications at each meeting. This regular reminder helps Club members considE~r potential members during their daily interaction with a wide variety of people. The Rotary Club of Trenton gained 20 new members through this strategy. ·
11. ICiub Foruml ... Hold a Club forum on membership development to discuss ways to seek out potential members. Follow those ideas through.
12. lin crease Efforts! ... Study thE~ results of Zone 25/26 Focus Group Report on increasing generational diversity. Change the Club practices to be more attractive to the new generation. (See following page)
13. lDial)ll ... Encourage Club members to keep a 24 hour diary of everyone with whom they interact. Select potential members from that list.
14. jContesij ... Have a Club contest to see who can bring in the most members. Reward the top 3 with special awards that will instill a desire to compete.
15. !Bring a Friend DaYI ... Encourage all members to bring guests to Clulb functions. Designate one meeting a month as "Bring a Guest" meeting.
+ lYour Own ldeasi ... We recognize that there are many great ideas throughout the world. If you have one that could generate new members, we welcome you 1to formulate your own strategy for yoUJr Club.
3 TIPS ON RETENTION We make Retention a mystery and hard to achieve. The truth is it is simple.
"I have said before, and I repeat it, that every new member needs three (3) things:"
1. A friend in Rotary to whom he can constantly turn, who will walk beside him, who will answer his questions, who will understand his problems.
2. An assignment. Activity is the genius of Rotary. It is the process by which we grow like the~ muscle of my arm. If I use them, they grow stronger. If I put them in a sling, they become weaker. Every member deserves a responsibility. The Club President may feel that the new member is not qualified for responsibility. Take a chance on him. Think of the risk Rotary and your Club took when they elected you. An assignment should be given the day they join. Any later and you will lose them.
Of course, the new members will not know everything. They likely will make some mistakes. So what? We all make mistakes. The important thing is the growth that will come of activity. They will have the fellowship of the other members. They will become one of a vast body of Rotarians throughout the world, men and women of integrity and faith who love Rotary and seek to move forward this work.
3. Every new member must be "nourished by the concepts of Rotary." They need to understand what it is when we say Service Above Self. Hold fireside for new Members.
Rotary's Value Proposition to Members
Did you know that there are forums or topic-oriented groups on the Rotary.org website? I subscribe to several that are focused on membership and the following post from a fellow Rotarian showed up and I believe that it should be shared with you and for you to share with your club. I suggest that someone read this aloud several times during the year, use it wheri speaking with prospective members AND use it for your conversations with tenured members who need to remain engaged and active in the club.
When we invite someone to join Rotary, we are asking them to donate quite a bit of time and money. A member should expect something in n~tum for a donation of time and money. Therefore, we need to consider what we are offe1ring to our members -whether they are new or long-serving.
What is our Value Proposition to members? Here are some suggestions:
A sincere greeting at every meeting so they will feel welcome. A Rotary meeting has to be "a place where everybody knows your name and they are always glad you came". When I first joined Rotary, I had a new job in a new company in a new town. It was a tough, lonely time. One of the highlights of every week was the warm grteeting that I received at lunch on Mondays. Here were the leading businessmen and professionals of my town greeting me, shaking my hand, and saying that they were glad to see me. Those greetings helped me more than any words can express.
. A willing audience so they feel supported. Past RI President Cliff Dochterman points out in his book As I Was Saying, we never know which of our members would really appreciate a chance to share some great news about their lives. On th.e other hand, we never know who might be going through a difficult time - someone who might be really grateful for a chance to discuss some issue with another member. Rotary fellowship can be much more than a cheery greeting. Just by showing up and being available for fellowship, we are giving something to our fellow members.
Mentoring in Rotary jargon so they can understand the discussions. When Rotarians speak about DLTA, RYLA, RYE, PETS, VTT, PDG, COL, etc., the new members feel like outsiders. There should be a mentor sitting beside them to translate and explain. Preferably, the club leaders will outlaw the use of acronyms during club meetings. All Rotarians should be capable of saying District Leadership Training Assembly, Rotary Youth Leadership Award, etc., without tripping over their tongues.
Meaningful work in service delivery so they can experience the joy of service. We provide service to others so our lives will be fulfilled; so we will lead happier, more satisfying lives. What if a new member is not invited to a community service project or a committee meeting because the organizer is not sure how to pronounce her name or because no one on the committee knows her telephone number? Will that member feel good about Rotary membership?
.---. Leadership opportunities so they can develop and practice leadership skills. Leadership is one of the core values of Rotary. We should provide leadership opportunities in a safe, supportive environment so our members can develop their s:k:ills in chairing meetings, making presentations, and similar leadership roles. These skills can be 1ransferred to the work place. This is excellent value for our members.
Business development so they can prosper. I was ordered to join Rotary for business development purposes as a condition of my emplloyment. It was very effective. Some Rotary clubs are a bit "precious" about being above that sort of thing. Nonsense! Rotarians need products and services as much as anyone else does. Our members have worthwhile vocation. They should expect other Rotarians to consider dloing business with them.
Mentoring so they can develop personally. Older Rotarians have much experience to share. Unfortunately, some clubs allow the older members to sit together all the time. This, in effect, tells the new members that they are of no interest. If long-serving members are strongly encouraged to sit with and engage with the newer members, then all have much to gain.
How can we tell whether members are receiving value for the time and money that they devote to Rotary? We can watch subtle signs like poor_ attendance or a lack of committee work. We can also ask members for their opinions. The merit of asking is obvious.
Let's help members to get maximum value from their investment in Rotary!
R.L DISTRICf 5890- MEMBERSHIP DEVELOPMENT & RETENTION
Recruitment strategies
August is Membership and Extension Month, a special time each year when the entire Rotary family gets a chance to focus on the: heart of the organization and what makes it great - our mor.e than 1.2 million members in nearly 33,000 clubs worldwide. But why limit our focus to just 31 days of the calendar? Keep membership top of mind all year by implementing one of the following ideas each month:
• Place a promotional ad or insert in your local chamber of commerce directory. • Create business cards printed with your name, the Rotary logo, and the phrase "Be
My Guest," along with the day, time,, and location of your club's meetings. The cards serve as an invitation to attend a ciUib meeting at the club's expense.
• Develop a spreadsheet or database of program alumni (e.g., Rotaract, Interact, Youth Exchange, Group Study Exchange) so that these individuals can be invited to become Rotarians once they are qualified.
• Invite program alumni as guests to )rour meetings, and propose any qualified alumni for membership. •
• Ask members to consider recruiting their spouses to the club, and offer that spouse arrincentive, such as no dub dues fc)r a full year.
• Send a welcome letter to the owners of new businesses in your community. • Hold a luncheon for community lead1~rs. Each club member is responsible for inviting
a set number of prospective members who are community leaders, and club members donate a set amount for the cost of the meal and invitations. Show the sixminute video This Is Rotary (449-EN), and bring in a dynamic Rotary leader as a speaker.
• Scan local business journals and newspapers for the names of influential business people and community leaders.
• Invite a prospective member or members to participate in a club activity or project that demonstrates the meaningful work of your Rotary club.
• Ask members to wear pins or T-shirts with the slogan "Ask Me About Rotary" to generate conversation about membership in Rotary.
• Create a prospective member leaflet or brochure called "What's in It for Me?" that lists recent speakers at your club meetings, area companies that are represented in the club membership, and current local service projects.
• Obtain space in a prominent shop window to display information about the club's activities in the community.
• Collect business cards from individuals who attend a meeting as a guest or speaker, and send a follow-up note or postcard thanking each visitor and inviting them back. Buy a supply of Rotary Notecards (980-MU) or the RI Theme Postcard (910-07MU) to use for this purpose.
• Wear the Rotary logo on your clothes during service projects. • Make it a point of honor to propose a new member. Recognize the proposer in the
club bulletin or at the weekly meetin!J·
Share your motivation and enthusiasm!
Nothing could be more important to prospective members than the level of energy they feel during a club visit. Prospective members neE~d to see and feel your enthusiasm as well as your pride for your membership in Rotary. When club members are friendly, inviting, and inclusive, a potential Rotarian receives the most important message: You are welcome here and will have the opportunity to participate in something important.

Rotary Club of' Space Center WHAT IS EXPECTED OF YOU AS A NEW MEMBER (Prospect Retain This Page)
SERVICE - The Space Center Rotary Club is a service club, founded on the ideal of service to others. Members are expected to give time to the Club and its projects. Service activities are determined by each club and are channeled through the avenues of club service, vocational service, community service, and international service.

Plus, you should not miss more than three consecutive Rotary Club meetings without communicating with the Club Secretary.
Rotary International and the Space Center Rotary Club permit you to make-up for a missed meeting by attending the meeting of any other Rotary Club anywhere in the world or on-line. The make-up meeting should be attended fourteen-days prior to or within fourteen-days after missing a club me!eting. You are expected to attend no less than 30% of your home club's meetings• during a six-month period. The club constitution provides for the termination of membership for failure to meet attendance requirements.

E-Club of Houston Could be for You
July 1, 2016
DISTRICT 5890
Rotary e-clubs are a lot like other Rotary clubs: they meet weekly, carry out service projects, support The Rotary Foundation, and socializ1e with each other. So what's different about eclubs? You join your meeting online when it's convenient for you, day or night, any day of the week.
E-Club members use webinars, video-conferencing, message boards, instant messaging, or tools like Skype and Google Hangout to communicate. For example, a club member might post content online for that week's meeting, and then other members join the discussion throughout the week. Some e-club members also meet in person at service projects, social activities or the RI Convention.
As a global e-Club, projects are likely to be local to one or more of our members. Some of our members are heavily engaged in their OVIm communities serving on nonprofit boards, working on youth projects, bringing unique ~~ducational opportunities into local schools, educating local ranchers on sustainable practices for ranching, etc. E-Club members in Arizona log over 700 hours of service every month, and have done so for several years. A minimum number of service hours will be required of our members. This year, we are asking club members to volunteer 1 hour each month and the goal for next year will be 2 hours each month. Partner with other Rotarians with various club projects or district-wide projects or volunteer in your community as needed. Then, remember to report your volunteer time as you report your attendance at club meetings. See more at http:/ /portal.clubrunner.ca/1 0506/Stories#sthash.lHBRgtjL.dpuf
Attendance Makeups Rotarians who are active members of the Rotary e-Club of Houston, visiting Rotarians and guests will find a bar which states "Attendance" directly beneath the banner of the website which is www.clubrunner.ca/1 0506
Please complete this form which is appropriate and it will be merged into the excel spreadsheet for the club secretary to review weekly. Visiting Rotarians may add their own email address or their club secretary's email address to capture attendance, or simply print the Visiting Rotarian form and give to your dub secretary.

FAQ- Satellite Club 2016
What's the purpose of the new Satellite club policy?
The new Satellite club policy provides a new way to create Rotary clubs. A Satellite club functions as a short-term, transitional step on tht~ path to becoming a full, independent Rotary club.
How does a club apply to have a Satellite club?
An application is sent to Club and District Support via the sponsor club president.
Is there a minimum or maximum number of members of a Satellite club?
New satellite clubs must have at least eight members in order to satisfy the requirements of Article 10, Section 6(b) of the Standard Rotary Club Constitution. There is no maximum number of members.
Is there a minimum number of members of the sponsor club?
No. Clubs with fewer than 20 members can form a satellite club. Should that satellite club ever apply to become a fully independent Rotary club, then it will need a sponsor club of at least 20 members. Confusion may arise because the RI Bylaws and Standard Rotary Club Constitution use the term "sponsor club" for new clubs and satellite clubs. However, they ar(~ two different kinds of sponsor clubs, so the policies are not interchangeable.
How are Satellite clubs named?
Satellite clubs are named: Rotary Satellite Club of[Sponsor Club Name] [Additional Qualifier], State/Province, Country. Example: Rotary Satellite Club of Bangkok North Evening, Thailand.
Can a Satellite club transfer to a different sponsor club?
No. The sponsor and satellite club are permanently linked. The Satellite club would need to be terminated and the members would have to start a new satellite club with the new sponsor club.
Can a Satellite club be an E-club?
Yes. The club should use the following name format: Rotary Satellite E-Club of [Sponsor CRub Name] [Additional Qualifier Wording to Distinguish your Club], State/Province, Country. Example: Rotary Satellite E-Club of Bangkok North Evening, Thailand.
Can an e-club sponsor a satellite club?
Yes. E-clubs can sponsor satellite e-clubs and satellite "terra" clubs.
Can Satellite clubs create a separate board with a different set of officers than the sponsor club?
Satellite clubs set up their own board and have their own officers. However, instead of a president, a satellite club has a chair.
If there are two boards, how are any disagreements handled?
The board of the sponsor club has the final authority when there are disagreements.
Can the satellite club always meet together with the sponsor club?
The satellite club should have a separate meeting, although it may meet jointly with the sponsor club from time to time. Holding all meetings jointly with the sponsor club should be strongly discouraged, but is not prohibited by the policy.
If the sponsor club is terminated, does the satellite club need to close as well?
Yes, the satellite club is terminated with the sponsor club.
Does the leadership of the Satellite club have a position on the Board of the main club?
This is not required, but is highly recommended.
Are Satellite club members Rotarians?
Yes, they are Rotarians and members of the sponsor club.
Do Satellite club members pay RI dues?
Yes, they are Rotarians and so pay the same Rotary dues as other Rotarians.
Do satellite clubs receive per capita dues invoices?
No, the satellite club members will be included on the sponsor club's dues invoice.
Can a Satellite club have a separate dues structure and bylaws?
Yes. The Satellite club determines its dues structure and bylaws in collaboration with its sponsor club.
Who decides on the Satellite club's meeting place and time?
The Satellite club.
Will the Satellite need to set goals as well? Will they be able to use Rotary Club Central for this purpose?
All clubs, including Satellite clubs, are strongly encouraged to set goals to achieve success. Rotary Club Central cannot accommodate Satellite club goals at this time.
Does someone who has only served as the chair (president) of a Satellite club meet the qualifications for a DGN?
No, but the district can ask Rotary's President to waive this requirement.
If an existing weak club becomes a Satellite club, what are the criteria to revert back to autonomous club status?
Satellite clubs are a new way to start a Rotary club. When a Satellite club is ready, it may apply to Rotary for regular club status.
How does a Satellite club apply to become a new, independent club?
The Satellite club works with the sponsor club and district governor to complete Rotary's new club application.
How long can a Satellite club exist?
Satellite clubs are intended as a temporary step on the way to becoming a full, independent Rotary club. However, there is no time limit on these clubs.
Could Rotaract clubs be converted into Satellite clubs as a transition to becoming a full Rotary club?
Some or all of the members of a Rotaract club may form or join a Satellite club.
R.I. DISTRICT 5890 Young Profesl~ionals of Rotary
Need for Voice of Young Professionals
July 1, 2016
DISTRICT 5890
Most Rotarians think New Generations is all about the kids (Early Act, Interact, RYLA & Rotaract). But, what about the young professionals, who we are all encouraging clubs to bring into our clubs?
There are some great younger Rotarians within out District, but there could be many mon:, which is what we all should strive for. Give them a voice, a leader at District level, and watch the amazing results.
The targeted group should be 25-39, responsibilities would include recruitment & retention, speaking at club meetings, promoting recruitment of younger professionals, identifying a similar person in each club to champion this effort and yes, even provide assistance in forming another young professionals' Rotary club, i.e. Skyline.
Plus, I think that group should have peer activities, events & published break-out session at District Conference, building synergy within the group.
As a result of view, the Young Professionals in Rotary is an active group of Rotarians and Rotaractors, who have created mixers and setvice projects to increase engagement and networking for the Young Professionals in Rotary District 5890. We created this new group for the Young Professionals and the young at heart who are looking to have fun. Our goal through our events and networking is to not only attract new members to various Rotary and Rotaract Clubs throughout District 5890, but to increase membership retention.
We invite everyone to invite their family, fri~;:nds, business associates and interested prospects who may want to come network and learn more about Rotary. We will have monthly events, including social mixers and service projects.

R.I. DISTIUCT 5890 MANUAL OF PROCEDURE
RULE ()f "85" 2016··2017
The following is an explanation of the Rule of 85 and how to apply the rule to calculating membership attendance:
The Rl Constitution defines Excused Membership as follows:
Article 9, Section 2 - Excused Absences. A member's absence shall be excused if (a) the absence complies with the conditions and under circumstances approved by the board. The board may excuse a member's absence for reasons that it considers to be good and sufficient. Such excused absences shall not extend for longer than twelv1e months. (b) the aggregate of the member's years of age and years of membership in one or more clubs is 85 years or mor1e, the member has been a member of one or more clubs for at least 20 yea1rs, and the member has notified the club secretary in writing of the member's desire to be excused from attendance and the board has approved.
Example: Member John Doe will be ~65 in June 2016 and he will have 20 years of service in October 2016. This qualifies him for exclusion from attendance starting in October 2016.
This will not affect his membership status in any way but will simply allow you as Club Secretary to exclude him from your attendance percent if he does not make a meeting. However, if he attends a meeting he should be counted toward your overall percentage.
Examples: A club with 50 members, 10 of whom qualify and have been approved for the Rule of 85. At a given meeting, 36 of the non-Rule of 85 members were either in attendance, given credit for a board approved service activity or had a make-up in another club, and 8 of the 10 Rule of 85 members were in attendance. The pE~rcentage of attendance would be calculated as illustrated:
36 + 8 44 ~~~ = = 91.66%
40 + 8 48
A club with 35 members, 5 of whom qualify and have been approved for the Rule of 85. At a given meeting, 21 of the non-Rule of 85 members were either in attendance, given credit for a board approved service activity or had a make-up in another club, and all 5 of the Rule of 85 members were in attendance. The percentage of attendance would be calculated as illustrated
21 + 5 2~6 ~~~ = ~·--~~~ = 74.29%
30 + 5 ~~5
A club with 40 members, 12 of whom qualify and have been approved for the Rule of 85. At a given meeting, 25 of the non-Rule of 85 members were either in attendance, given credit for a board approved service activity or had a make-up in another club, and none of the Rule of 85 members were in attendance. The percentage of attendance would be calculated as illustrated:
25 + 0 ~~5
= = 89.29% 28 + 0 28

Chartered in 1958, The Rotary Club of North Shore is a local community, not-for-profit service organization operating under the Constitution and Recommended By-Laws of Rotary International. The Club is part of Rotary District 5890, which has 75% of its 62 clubs in Harris County, Texas.
The club's members are male and female business owners, managers, or professionals, who are interested in fellowship with other members of the local business community and have a desire to serve the overall community in ways that require the talents and efforts of many people.
The real work of Rotary takes place before and after the weekly meetings, when the members plan and carry out a variety of humanitarian and educational service projects in the local community and throughout the world.
Rotary's Avenues of Service Members can concentrate their efforts in any combination of the four service areas identified by Rotary:
Club Service - providing service to the Rotary club to enable it to run efficiently in the spirit offellowship; Community Service- identifYing needs in the community and addressing these needs with service projects; Vocational Service - putting high standards of conduct into practice in the business and professional Jives of Rotarians; International Service - working for international understanding and peace by promoting goodwill between all peoples; and New Generations Service- the youngest generation in the family of Rotary. Many are participants in Rotary's youth and young adults programs: Rotaract, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), Rotary Youth Exchange, and Early Act First Knight (EAFK). Others are service-minded young people involved in Rotary club and district activities.
Answers to Your Questions
How Much Time Does Rotary Take? North Shore Rotary is a vibrant and active
service club; it does take a commitment to service. The minimum requirement is to attend 50% of the meetings, each of which lasts a little about an hour once a week.
