DG Weekly Message – A Time for Celebration
I cannot believe it is Christmas already and halfway through the Rotary Year as well. It seems like only yesterday when the Club President‘s Elect and my Training Team gathered together at PETS in Ballarat to put their plans and objectives in place as they prepared for the year ahead. Well I am very pleased to report that under the stewardship of those committed and well trained Rotary leaders, now our Presidents; I believe we are having one of the best Rotary Years ever.
We have more programs and activities on the go than ever before. There is so much happening in our clubs that our District Chairs are having to develop new administrative procedures and processes to help manage and support of the increased number of Districts Programs; I say what a marvellous problem to have. This year the range and diversity of our community and international programs have been outstanding; we have embraced new opportunities and ideas while at the same time supporting our core group of programs such as ROMAC, Interplast, ARH and many more.
However, the best news of all is we have achieved a Membership Gain for the first six months of the Rotary Year. I must say that is the best news any District Governor and Membership chair could ever hear. Coming at this time of year it doesn’t get any better, certainly a time for celebration. As we discussed at every DG visit our goal was for every club to have a net positive in Membership, and if we keep it up we will reach that goal and this will definitely be the best Rotary Year ever:
The Future of Rotary Membership is in Your Hands
As this is the final DG Weekly Message for the year could I wish all Rotarians and their families, our Family of Rotary and everyone who has been involved in this wonderful organisation a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Please stay safe and come back refreshed as we all look forward to an even better 2010.
Colin Muir
Governor
