  1. Club Assembly Quiz #4 Membership

  2. 1. Some clubs give each new member TWO Rotary Pins. Why? • The new member has TWO blouses/sportcoats. • Losing a pin is common • New Members are encouraged to sponsor OTHER new members. The second pin is for THAT new member!

  3. 2. Sponsoring new members is a duty of all Rotarians: • True • False

  4. 3. If every Rotarian sponsored one new member, Rotary would have how many members worldwide? • 500,000 • 1.2 million • 2.4 million • 4.8 million

  5. 4. Why would a person want to join Rotary? • To effect change within the community • To develop leadership skills • To Gain an understanding of – and have an impact on – international humanitarian problems • To develop relationships with community and business leaders • All of the above!

  6. 5. One of the best ways to keep up with trends in Rotary membership is: • Watch the members who come to your meetings • Check the parking lot • Subscribe to “Membership Minute” on the Rotary website • All the above

  7. 6. A friend is moving to Seattle, and you’d like to get her in contact with Rotarians in the area. What’s the best way to link them up? • Call the Seattle Chamber of Commerce • Call a non-Rotarian friend in Tacoma • Sign up for Membership Minute newsletters • Use the club locator on the RI Website

  8. 7. If a person cannot afford club dues, support The Rotary Foundation, or support the ethics of the 4-Way Test: • They might still be Rotarians with a little work. • They might have trouble finding a sponsor • Might better not have been asked to Rotary in the first place • Probably will not be accepted for membership • B, C & D above

  9. 8. What are some ways to retain members? • Chain them to the podium • Make sure they quickly enter a clique at a standard table • Don’t let the new member sit with her/his sponsor • None of the above

  10. 9. Orientation of a new member should: • Be thorough • Involve the Membership or the Membership Development Committee • Include Rotary literature, contact numbers, and club directory of members in a membership “packet” • Include instruction in the “secret handshake” • A, B, & C above

  11. 10. How does “Family of Rotary” apply to new members? • The new Rotarian’s family are never invited to the formal induction • Family activities should be held soon, so that spouses (and even children) would be included in Rotary Fellowship • This is a good time to study the history of Paul Harris’ children

  12. 11. Many new members know nothing of Rotary Fellowships. Is it too early to give a list of these to new members on the day of their induction? • Fellowship only means talking to Rotary Friends • Yes -- The list is too long, and may frighten a new Rotarian into thinking that they must join one or more Fellowships • No, “getting the Rotarian out of the Club” is one of the best ways to “get the Club into the Rotarian” • Yes – because this will distract the new Rotarian’s attention away from the District Conference

  13. 12. What happens to a Rotarian at an International Convention? • The Convention serves as a fabulous place to recruit new members • The Convention ignites “The Spirit of Rotary” in almost every attendee • They finally get to attend a District Membership meeting • They should always try to find dining table with all Americans.

  14. 13. When you invite to investigate Rotary membership, a frequent response is: • MY schedule is too busy for such things • I cannot make all those meetings • I cannot pay the dues of yet another club • All of the above

  15. 14. What’s a “Membership Referral Form?” • It’s a request to join the Membership Committee • It’s a newsletter for membership ideas. • It’s a form on rotary.org for referring a person to a Rotary Club • It’s a booklet for Rotarians on Membership

  16. 15. A mentor has many responsibilities including, but not limited to, the following: • Being available to answer questions and provide guidance • Ensuring the new member understands club policy and procedures, including rules and expectations • Acting as an informal host at club events by introducing the new member to other club members and ensuring that the new member feels comfortable • Conducting an inventory of interests to determine the topics that interest the new member • Monitoring the new member’s comfort level and involvement in the club meetings • All of the above
