NOVEMBER 11 PROGRAM 

Thomas Goodman, Author

      

Thomas Goodman first ran across the story of the Santa Claus  Bank Robbery when he lived in the small Texas county where it all took place. He currently lives in Austin, where he has been able to conduct extensive research on the true crime at the Texas State Library and Archives Commission.  “The Last Man” is his first novel.

Last week, Jenn Norvecchia and Charlie Williams, with District 5870 RYLA, provided the club with the low-down on next year's Rotary Youth Leadership Awards schedule and expectations. If you are interested in participating, check out their website to find a role.

Strategies for Boosting Membership

When membership is strong, our Rotary and Rotaract clubs have more opportunities to help communities flourish. 

Discover strategies for sustainable growth in the newly updated presentation on The State of Membership. This slide presentation provides an overview of our membership as of 1 July, highlights the latest trends, and is easily customized. We also now have a presentation on The State of Rotaract. It’s completely new and focuses on strengthening collaboration between Rotary and Rotaract!

To gain a deeper understanding of the data presented, play the recording of the webinar The State of Membership. The comprehensive webinar explores various strategies for attracting and retaining members as well as establishing new clubs, and it is invaluable for anyone who supports membership.
