Posted by Jennifer Jones, Rotary International President 2022-23
In President Jennifer Jones' August 2022 Newsletter, she says it starts with an invitation to join Rotary that unlocks our imaginations and allows us to know that everything and anything is possible. Each one of us has that same opportunity —the honor to extend an invitation. She adds that, "It’s time for Rotary to take our next step in advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across our organization. Embracing an experience where people feel included... removing barriers for entry and opening doors for inclusion..." She addas that "We need Rotary leaders to rise from every continent, culture, and creed. We need young members and young thinkers to take on larger roles and responsibilities"..... and that "We need to listen to new Rotary members just as keenly, and with as much respect, as those with many years of membership". She concludes by saying that when people of action are committed to a big goal (30 % female members by 2030), we make it worth every ounce of our energy........

In the Chair of the Trustees of The Rotary Foundation Ian Riseley's August 2022 Newsletter, he talks about international impact of clubs in Canada and other countries particpated in a Rotary Global Grants and how they helped with bushfires that devastated in Ausrtralia in 2019 and 2020. He asks us to "Think of the impact of our polio eradication efforts, our peace education programs, and our Programs of Scale grants. All these efforts to make the world a better place emanate from our Foundation." He adds that, "The more visibility and impact we have through Foundation projects, the more people want to be part of what we are doing as partners or as members. Everybody wins." He concludes by saying, "Rotary and its Foundation are inseparable — you can’t have one without the other. They are two sides of the same coin. Remember that other side of the Rotary coin and support your Foundation".........

Rotary and our Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) partners have launched the Polio Eradication Strategy 2022-2026: Delivering on a Promise to overcome the remaining challenges to ending polio, including last year’s increase in polio cases caused by a pause in vaccination campaigns due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Leaders from Pakistan and Afghanistan — the last two countries where wild polio remains endemic — have recommitted to working with the GPEI to improve vaccination campaigns and reach at-risk children. As long as polio exists anywhere, it remains a threat everywhere.
In addition to providing a roadmap to eradication, the new strategy calls for renewed political and financial commitments from governments and donors to achieve a polio-free world. Learn more about the action underway to eradicate polio.
August is Membership and New Club Development Month, when Rotary Clubs, around the world focus on membership in Rotary. Does your club have a plan?

Posted by Tom Gump, Past District Governor of District 5950, and a Member of Rotary International’s Membership Growth Committee
I love August because it is the time of year when Rotary looks seriously at the topic of membership. We are a membership organization and as such, we need members to grow and expand our impact. Service is the avenue by which we make a lasting impact in our communities and how we keep our members engaged.
There are at least three methods of strengthening membership. We can pour energy into attracting new members. We can focus on engaging existing members. And we can form new clubs that serve distinct needs and serve as a magnet for attracting still more members. At different times and places, our Rotary International presidents have focused on all of these aspects of membership.......
Past District Governor Mike Cooksey once told me that if you want more Rotary members, you have to ask. He told everyone he saw to "Get your Ask in Gear". His words certainly reflect one of the Strategic Plans that District 7070 has this year. Our goal is to receive 100 inquires from the "Join Us" button on the District 7070 Website and to have over 40 Rotary Clubs have a "Join Us" button on their own club website AND have a members conversion process from these inquiries. It's up to you.
If you have been already been part of the District 7070 Website Refresh Program, then you will remember Melissa Wells talking about adding a "Join Us" button to the front page of your club website. This is your way of "asking" anyone who sees your website to learn more about Rotary and join your club.
Past District Governor Bob Wallace of our District 7070 Technology Team did this to our District Website. Instead of "Join Us" , Bob put an "Interested in Joining Us" button right up front on the menu tab. To see how we have done , Please Read more........
