August is Rotary Membership month. It is important to bring in new members, but just as important to retain them! Each member joined Rotary because they want to be involved. It is everyone's responsibility to engage and keep new members informed, but if you sponsored a member you have an even greater role. Are you involved in a committee that needs help? Use this as your opportunity to invite the new member to be actively involved.
Watch for regular thoughts about membership in upcoming newsletters and let them get you inspired to think about why you are a Rotarian and how you can get involved.
