August is Membership and New Club Development Month
 
As I searched the web for an item to add for August, I came across an article from the Rotary Club of Georgetown (TX not DC):

Make the most of your membership. Here's a dozen ways to do it:

  1. Learn more about Rotary Global Rewards, a new member benefit program that offers discounts on products and services – travel, hotels, car rentals, dining, and entertainment. Visit the Member Center.
  2. Identify a need in our community and work with our club to design a hands-on project that addresses it.
  3. Learn how to apply for a grant to implement a project.
  4. Know a young leader? Tell him or her about Interact, Rotaract, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), and Rotary Youth Exchange.
  5. Explore other clubs. Did you know that you’re welcome to attend any club’s meeting, anywhere in the world? Use the Club Finder tool or download the Club Locator app to find a meeting when you travel.
  6. Try a new role. Our Club need leaders. Get involved and help our club by serving as an officer and/or committee member.
  7. Attend the next Rotary International Convention in Toronto, Canada. Enjoy inspiring talks from global leaders, celebrities, and activists. Meet members from around the world. It’s the ultimate way to understand the scope of Rotary.
  8. Be part of history and help eradicate polio. Find out how to support PolioPlus and join the movement to end polio.
