Governor Tom Hankard introduced this year's One by One Membership Initiative at the District Installation celebration.  He challenged all Rotarians to invite one person to a Rotary meeting, event, or service project during this Rotary year.
 
Now is a good time to ask ourselves how we are doing on this challenge.  Have you completed the challenge?  
 
The goal is to increase your club's net membership by one member. If every club in our District increases membership by one net member, we will have the most growth in decades.
One way to grow our membership is by enhancing our relationships with or finding new partners for our clubs to work with. When we find new ways to serve our community, our impact as an organization increases, and our community recognition grows.
 
Rotary has put out some great tips on inspiring partners to work with us. Take a moment to read and talk about it at your next club meeting!  10 Tips to Inspire Partners to Work with you on a Service Initiative.
