You may have heard by now that Rotary's MAD crew are working away on a member growth plan. With the leadership of the Board of Directors, the goal is to elevate membership numbers and to ensure that the Rotary Club of Belleville stays strong for years to come.
Many service clubs like ours are struggling to survive; that is not our plan….. with 106 yrs under the belt, let's stay proud and play our part in setting out a foundation for the next 100 yrs.
That said; with the kind generosity of PP Tim McKinney, we plan for a ‘Rotary drop-in’ event on Mon June 15th at The Landing on South Church St, Belleville. This will be the first of an annual series of events. The purpose of this event is to gently attract new members to Rotary through the delight of fellowship and the discovery of Rotary Impact at home and away. We hope you will play your own part in helping make this event a great success. Your personal participation will help make this a success.
So here's the ask:
- This coming Tuesday, May 26th at 4pm - 5pm. We have a photo session at The Landing. This is to help create content for social media and to promote our Drop In event and more. We are so fortunate to have Victor Cooper who will video/photograph our gathering in a very professional way. This has immense value to our Club. Your presence counts, your smile and Rotary hug matters so much - please come along and enjoy history in the making through your simple fellowship.
- On Monday, June 15th at 5pm - 8pm, we will hold our drop in event at The Landing. Please mark your calendar and come along even for a quick hi. More detailed description of certain tasks to follow but either way, this is about mingling and talking about Rotary. Talking to those who might have an interest in hearing about your experience as a Rotarian and helping folks decide that being part of our family is right for them too.
- Bring a friend. Think about someone who you think might be the next greatest Rotarian. Someone who would enjoy meeting awesome new friends, doing great things and maybe even enjoying a Rotary hug or two…..
Yours in Rotary
Peter, Jared and your (quite) MAD crew
