The Challenge of Membership

Rotary International is a global organisation with over 1.2m members and there are many aspects of recruiting, maintaining, encouraging and supporting members which are not always apparent to all members. Irena Brichter presented to the members at our recent meeting the history and structure of Rotary and some of the aspects of the organisation relating to membership. Her presentation also focused on the Rotary Foundation, a charitable and parallel organisation to Rotary International which gives grants for projects all over the world. Irena commented on the vibrancy of Rotary Club Prague International and how this club in particular is continually attracting more members - she described it as a role model. Irena also explained what a Rotary Moment is: Wear your Rotary Pin and it is almost certain that someone during the day will ask you what it is. This is an opportunity to explain in a few words the great charitable work which Rotary does and how much fun one can have doing it!
