Our Clubs – Bold or Old? Engagement or attendance? Too structured or having fun getting it done? Representative of your diverse community? A good environment for newer members? Inspiring projects and programs? A force for good?
Being a Rotarian • Why did I join? • What is it I belong to? • Why am I here? • Why do I stay? • Why don't I share the joy of Rotary service by asking someone to join?
