Chairman's Corner

Knowlegeable Rotarians Make Strong Rotary Clubs!

August 12, 2008 

Every Rotary club has at least one special member. You know the one I am talking about… the one who KNOWS about ROTARY.

This is the Rotarian who can tell you where the Four Way Test came from, why Paul Harris started Rotary, what types of projects make good local or community service projects, and where you can find out about the things you don’t know about Rotary. It’s the person who wears their Rotary lapel pin, isn’t afraid to talk to non-Rotarians about what Rotary is and does, and can really explain to a total stranger why Rotary is a special opportunity.

Maybe your club is special and has two, three, four or more of these special Rotarians? Maybe the entire 20% that DO in your club falls into this category? Maybe not… You remember the 20/80 Rule!

It is beyond argument that the more of these knowledgeable Rotarians you have in your club, the wider your club’s world of Rotary service is, and the stronger your club is.

What if I said that there is a simple, inexpensive process for generating more of these Knowledgeable Rotarians for your Rotary Club. What if I said that there is a simple, inexpensive way for YOU to become that special member yourself.

Well, you have found it! The Rotary Leadership Institute. If you are identified by your club as a prospective club leader, or if you want to discover the true benefits and opportunities of being a Rotarian and not just a Rotary club member, you have come to the right place. An experienced and committed group of experienced Rotary Leadership Institute Faculty use cutting edge facilitation techniques to harness the unique power that Rotary can have on your life, community and in the world.

You can be that special member in your Rotary club- the one with the ideas, the knowledge, and the passion for service and fellowship. It’s as easy as signing up for one of our 20 odd events held within a drivable distance from you. You will be amazed at what the experience will mean to you, your Rotary club, and your community. 

I hope that it will be YOU who is soon considered to be that special Rotary club member by your peers, or better yet for them to say “There’s a Rotarian!”
