Today's Program

Paul Blackstock & Membership
|
|
Paul Blackstock, District Membership Chair, briefed us on recruitment, retention, and the organization of new clubs as the three essential components of a successful District membership development action plan. At a time when many service organizations are experiencing stagnant or declining membership, Rotary is growing. Rotary, world wide, has had annual increases in membership. Currently, the area with the largest amount of membership growth is Asia. North America has had declining membership during this same time frame. Paul's focus was to alerted us of the consequences of our declining membership and encourage us to reverse this trend. At the Club level recruitment and retention are our responsibility and club members have a responsibility to contribute to membership development.
|
|
Our Club Membership development action plan will be kicked off with a free lunch for prospective members. We have printed wallet-size cards with your name and the Rotary emblem, along with the words "Join us on Tuesday for Lunch" and the time, and location of our club's meetings. Bob Duffield is distributing them to members to give to prospective members as an invitation to attend a club meeting at the club's expense. See Bob for your card

President's Message - Gregory B. Jones, President
Dear Rotarians:
Another beautiful Fall Weekend mixed with a little rain - we better enjoy it while we can - according to the Farmer's Almanac - Ole Man Winter will be screaming into the area in early Dec. with the first snow fall within the 1st 6 days of the month!
We have some great programs lined up, but I want to bring your attention to an important meeting on 11/18 - we have some guests coming that we have an opportunity to impact in a most positive way - the Advisor and Officers of WDBY HS InterAct Club. I trust we will have a good attendance and show some true Rotary enthusiasm - remember, they really have no idea what "Rotary" is all about! We have ordered an InterAct club banner for them as a gift (Right Herb?) and hopefully can present it to them at the meeting. If not, I believe they will be back on 12/16 to give us a follow up report on their trip to the UN - with Rotary, (our club helped to fund the Advisor and one InterAct member) - we could present them the InterAct Club Banner at that time.
So keep these dates "up front" and don't forget Christmas for Kids coming up on 12/9! Let's remember to support the Rotary Brkfst. Club's Dinner and Auction in support of Xmas for Kids - coming up next week!
Rotarily yours, Greg, the Prez.

Each calendar will be in the drawing each month for the remaining 12 months regardless of a previous win. Drawings will be held the last Tuesday of each month.

It's Dictionary Project Time
The Dictionary Project is an annual event of District 7640 with individual Rotary Clubs working with cooperating schools in their locality. The goal of this program is to assist all students in completing the school year as good writers, active readers and creative thinkers by providing students with their own personal dictionary. The dictionaries are a gift to each student to use at school and at home for years to come. Our Club is distributing dictionaries to third graders in 5 elementary schools in National Park, Wenonah and Woodbury .

| Business Note of the Day |
| Jobless ranks hit 10 million, most in 25 years P- -, -The nation's jobless ranks zoomed past 10 million last month, the most in a quarter-century, as piles of pink slips shut factory gates and office doors to 240,000 more Americans with the holidays nearing. |

| Joke of the Day |
A dying man smells his favorite oatmeal raisin cookies cooking downstairs. It takes all the strength he has left but he gets up from the bed and crawls down the stairs. He sees the cookies cooling on the counter and staggers over to them. As he reaches for one, his wife's wrinkled hand reaches out, smacks his and she yells:
"No, you can't have those! They're for the funeral!" |
