Greetings, Fellow Rotarians,
It's hard to believe that we are already one month into this new Rotary year! I will continue to provide District data to you monthly so that you always know where we stand. We started the year (July 1, 2025) at 2,209 members and were +3 for the month of July, taking us up to 2,212.
A GREAT start to the year, reflecting the awesome work that each club in our District (and each and every one of you) contributes. I know that we can get to a new positive for the year and I will continue to provide snippets of information to help all of you on this journey. Membership Olympics continues this year and here is our first month’s game that you can start TODAY!

Below are additional suggestions to make additional Rotary connections and gain ideas about how to boost clubs membership (taken from Designing Your Rotary Experience!)
ATTEND CLUB MEETINGS AND EVENTS
Introduce yourself to members in your club to get to know them better. Being genuinely interested in others shows people you value them, and these small interactions can lead to lasting friendships.
