DISTRICT GOVERNORS
GOALS & OBJECTIVES 1999-2000
Membership is a problem throughout our District
and the entire Rotary world. We must always be on the lookout for
new members, but must also remember we don't need members in name
only. That is members who pay their dues and come to meetings without
taking part in the projects of their clubs.
We need Rotarians not members of Rotary.
We need people who can and will follow our motto of "Service Above
Self". this is the only way any club can survive.
My goal for membership gain this Rotary
year is 88 new members NET. This means an average of plus 2 for each
club over last June 30's number. As I told those clubs that asked
why our dues had to go up, our expenses continue to rise as our membership
declines. The only way we can avoid additional dues increases is to
increase our membership.
Every club I visited has a goal of 2 or
more new members net. Let's do our very best to accomplish this obtainable
goal.
The following are my Foundation goals for
this year: Undesignated Fund $ 50,000 Total Giving $100,000 Benefactors
10 Major donor 1
When considering a gift to the Foundation
for Paul Harris credit in addition to the undesignated fund don't
forget Polio Plus and the various disasters that Rotary recognizes
each year. The first is already upon us. Turkey. I know from prior
experience our District will answer the call.
