Membership Front and Center

John Howard

Each week it is a struggle to come up with the words to start our blog.  This week I only came up with one word: Bravo!  John Howard allowed his program week to be hijacked by the membership committee.  Neal Pearcy asked Charles Green to lead us in a membership discussion.  Charles called on other Rotarians as well and the hit it out of the park.

Mark Morgan got up and spoke about being a new member some of the struggle to find a what rotary means to each of us.

Dave Simmon spoke about getting involved and the membership process. Dave reminded us to ask people who would make good Rotarians to join us, but you have to ask.

Finally,  Terry Kessinger got up and spoke. If you know Terry, when I say he spoke many words but said nothing, you know what I mean.  No really, Terry spoke about the years of service that he has dedicated to the Danville Rotary Club.  For years Terry has worked with our club and Rotarians to add fun into our social events and fundraisers.

Each of the Rotarians had their own topic that motivated us to reach out to members of our community and drive membership.  This is not just at our local level. Our district and Rotary International are making sure that the good deeds that Rotary does are noticed. Drawing attention to these good deeds will help to attract other like minded individuals.

Another speaker today was Shannon Shervin. Shannon came to speak to the Rotary Club about Post Prom for the Danville High school.  She has fill out a request for a donation from the Danville Rotary Club Foundation. 

Thanks again for the Membership Committee for putting on a great program.
