District 7640

District Governor 2011-2012April 2012 Newsletter

To my Family of Rotary,

April is Magazine month. The Rotarian is one of Rotary’’s best recruiting tools. Shareyour copy with a prospective member this month. Another idea is your doctor’s office. Howmany times do you see the same old magazines from past years? After you have read it,remove your address information and put a sticker that says, “Donated by …….and list yourClub with contact information. Now you are spreading the word.

This Thursday evening, April 12th your Leadership Team, AGs and College ofGovernors will be meeting to discuss the very serious issue of membership. RotaryInternational has put our District and other Districts in New Jersey on notice regarding thepossibility of merging, as most are close to or below the threshold of 1200 members.

On April 27 , prior to the District Conference, the DG and DGE or DGN of the fiveth

districts in New Jersey will be meeting. Each District having met prior with it’s own Leadershipwill be discussing the issue and how each is affected and possible courses of action to betaken.

I am passing along this information to all, as we are all, each one of us, is a member ofthe family of Rotary. You will all be informed as to the progress of these talks.

One of the most important things that I have learned in the past nine months as yourGovernor is when it comes to membership, Retention is more important than Recruitment.. Theeffort to retain a member is a lot easier to accomplish than to bring in and train a new a newone. Involve your members, make them feel at home and wanted, educate your members. Thereality is that we are losing more members than we are recruiting.

Each of you can make a difference in the lives of many people, all you have to do, ismake it happen.

Yours in Rotary Service,

Alan F. SteinRotary International District 7640Governor 2011-2012

Rotary Club of Cherry Hill Twilight

An eye-popping burst of more than 5,000 colorfultulips is blooming in downtown Haddonfield, thanks tothe Rotary Club of Haddonfield and several partners inthis historic and charming town. “Tulips on Tanner,” aproject initiated by Rotary, is designed to attract visitorsand further beautify Tanner Street which recentlycompleted a year-long reconstruction project.

The Rotary Club of Haddonfield created the ideaand contributed $2,000 to the initiative, with supportfrom The Haddonfield Foundation for a matchingamount, and $1,500 from the owners of the officebuilding located at 56 Haddon Avenue which backs up toTanner Street. Although the installation is on publicproperty and was undertaken with Borough approval, nopublic funds were requested nor spent on thiscommunity project. The beautiful bulbs were supplied bythe Haddonfield Tulip Company and planted in earlyDecember.

Catch them while they’re still blooming – TannerStreet is just off Kings Highway in downtownHaddonfield, along the brick wall of the parking lotbehind 56 Haddon Avenue, adjacent to the Library.
