Club Service and Membership Programme 2016/17

Goals:

• Raise awareness of the work done by Rotary in the local community and internationally.  

• Increase the membership of the club.

• Improve mentoring of new members

Activities:

• Greater publicity through social media and the local press.  This will include the distribution of the Rotary magazine and Forres Rotary leaflet within the local area.

• Raising awareness of how Rotary has changed in the last 65 years through an article in the local press and a possible display in a venue in Forres.

• Making people aware of the different types of membership available e.g. Associate Membership and Corporate Membership.

• To provide a formal mentoring programme for new members.  To ensure that new members feel welcome and have a role.

• To allow for people who are unwilling or unable to attend a weekly meeting at lunchtime, we will arrange a monthly evening meeting (probably after a Council meeting), to update members in a less formal setting.

• Formalise and increase the number of friends of Rotary we can count on for help with events.  

• Support the club through management of speaker list, club inventory etc.
