District Extending the Deadline to Pay for Two New Members per Club until September 30 Many clubs have already begun to recruit two new members under DG John Susani's terrific offer to pay for both the Rotary International Dues and the District Dues. Because several clubs are not meeting now due to so many vacations, plus Labor Day and the Jewish holidays coming up, DG John has graciously extended the deadline for this to September 30. Once again, clubs are encouraged to nominate family members (siblings, spouses, adult children) of Board members or other active members. All clubs should report the names and contact information of these new members to Membership Chair JoEllen Knie at joellenknie@gmail.com by September 20. Clubs should also try to develop satellite clubs, clubs for special interests, corporate clubs. DG John Susani has a goal of getting at least 100 new members by the end of September. *************************************************** A very special thanks to Season’s staff for outstanding services |
