New Generations Exchange is now officially the 5th Avenue of service Approved at the COL held in April 2010 by a small majority 263 to 250 The small majority of only 51.3% is perhaps indicative of Rotary in these times There are still a large number of members who do not believe the youth are our future

  5. Rotary needs NG Without younger blood we will all be heading the same way as this poor creature.

  6. Why is NG so important? It is not easy to sell Rotary by traditional means and does the classification survey really work? Excited youth encourage their parents to get interested Without any hard selling the parents see the benefits gained by their offspring and become involved Interested parents are often keen to find out more and will join Rotary with a little encouragement

  7. The 2 main ingredients Service Fellowship Get these two elements right and the rest will automatically fall into place. Make it fun, interesting and exciting then new Rotarians will truly want to know more Keen participants always get maximum benefit
