ARTICLES FOR HIGHLIGHTER DUE |
|
October is Vocational Service Month. Vocational service has always been a bit nebulous about what it's supposed to do. Is it kids' programs? Is it networking? Or, is it something else? Submit your stories about how your club provides Vocational Service no later than September 15 to Dennis Filangeri at highlighter@district5300.org. |

SUGGESTIONS TO GROW CLUB MEMBERSHIP |
|
1. Maintain contact with all local alumni of rotary's educational and service programs, and organize events for them.
2. Advertise special programs or projects on social networking sites such as Craigslist, Facebook, or LinkedIn, and invite visitors to your club meetings and events. Learn about RI's official social networking pages.
3. Sponsor an open house (or an open meeting with a special guest) that caters to a demographic group or classification that is not represented in the club.
4. Maintain a Web site for your club so that interested individuals can easily find out who you are, what you do, and what inspires you.
