DG Janne Speirs gave an inspiring speech to a large audience of Rotarians and guests at Wednesday's Club meeting. Janne stated that her aim during her tenure as District Governor is that every Club and Club member in District 9820 should have fun. She stated that whilst Rotary does many wonderful things, we are not very good at promoting the work to the community. Therefore, she is working with a small team to develop a 3-year plan to make sure that a consistent approach is taken to Public Image, by all Clubs in the District. We need to celebrate what we do well and let the public know about it. By improving our approach to Public Image, Janne is confident that membership will grow as the community learns what we do. She wants an increase of 1,500 new members in District 9820 by the end of the Rotary year. This equates to 3-4 new members per club. |
