Weekly eClub Zoom meeting
Beginning August 1st, Tuesday mornings at 9:00 am PDT
“Coffee Chat” membership meeting - Saturday morning, August 19 at 10:00am PDT
We have decided to host a District wide Zoom meeting on September 13th at 11:00 AM (PDT) with a delegation of Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Kharkiv in Ukraine. One of their problems is protecting the children of the community from being injured or killed by land mines. They need assistance with signs to warn people of the areas where land mines have been placed.
This will be an opportunity to hear firsthand about the challenges they face. Yulia Pavichenko, their Club President, will provide a description of their situation. Their city is under frequent missile attack. Their challenges are staggering. There will be an opportunity to provide support at that meeting.

August is Membership and New Club Development Month
That makes August — Membership and New Club Development Month — the perfect time to evaluate your club’s culture and adjust it if needed. Members are more likely to stay if their club experience is fulfilling. Use these ideas to help members feel involved, valued, and cared for:
- Communicate with people at every stage of their membership. If members think their experience in the club can be improved, take action to make changes. You can also use these two surveys to learn more about what members are thinking:
- The member interest survey will help you understand what new and prospective members care about and how they want to contribute.
- The member satisfaction survey (or an online version) can be distributed each year to all members.
By asking for feedback regularly and responding to it, you show that you’re open to change, and you empower members to be involved in creating their ideal club experience.
- Use the Club Health Check to identify areas where your club could improve and determine how to keep your club relevant for members and the community.
- Take the Creating an Inclusive Club Culture course to discover ways for your club to become more inclusive, diverse, and equitable.
Remember that for any Learning Center course, you’ll need a My Rotary account.
