Seeking New Members

NEW MEMBER DRIVE LET’S GROW TOGETHER!

As President John shared last week, we need eight new members to hit our goal for the year. The truth is, if we’re not growing, we’re not just standing still—we’re losing momentum. Fresh faces bring fresh ideas, energy, connections, and perspectives—everything that keeps our club vibrant, dynamic, and impactful. Here’s how you can help: It’s as easy as a Simple Ask—no hard sell required! Just say:

“Would you like to join me for lunch at my Rotary meeting this week? I think you’ll find it interesting — lunch is  on me!” (The club  will pick up the tab.) Think about potential members in your circle—colleagues, clergy, board members of other organizations, first responders, teachers, coaches. We have membership options to fit any schedule.

Your Challenge:

Bring a guest to a noon meeting in the next two weeks. Here’s the link to the membership application!
