WHAT WE LEARNED SO FAR

In our third year….. Second Year we brought in 13 members! We also lost 13 members! Younger members are more mobile and

not set in their careers, family or habits. Lost members to education, job changes,

move somewhere else, and not a Good Fit

Page 33: Alan Cox, Program Chair La Jolla New Generations Rotary Club District 5340 WHAT IS A NEW GENERATIONS ROTARY CLUB?

WHAT WE RECOMMEND…..

Be thorough in your new member requirementsMake sure they make multiple meetingsMake sure you explain financial and

attendance requirementsFollow up on dues and missing meetings

Have plenty of service projects Have plenty of fellowship activities Educate your members about Rotary!!!!!
