Fellow Rotarians,

Rotary’s theme for August is Membership, so it’s the perfect time to be thinking about who is missing at our Rotary Lunches. Our club goal for membership is 125 members this year, and we now at 117 members. Who do you know that would be a good fit to join this great fellowship, that already exemplifies “Service above Self”? Our club is the largest Rotary Club in the state of Idaho, but we still have room for many more friends. By continuing to grow our club we continue to increase our community impact. This impact is proven through the incredible work that our Club has accomplished since our inception in 1918. Most Rotary Clubs do not accomplish projects like $6.5 million in greenbelt development in their communities. This is something to be incredibly proud of and this club has completed so much more than that. If you are not aware of the many projects our club has completed, take a look at page 49-51 in our club roster, it gives a brief description of our projects over decades of time. More club members equivalates to greater impact.

So, let’s do it! Let’s invite more high integrity, business professionals, friends, family, and retirees to join us. If each of us looked at our sphere of influence I bet, we could find several people to join us for lunch and see if our club is the right fit for them. In short, I hope you feel proud to be a part of this incredible service club and want to share it with those you know. Join me in expanding our impact through growing our club!

In Fellowship,

Message from District Governor, Steve Gage
August is Membership month for Rotary International. We know that with more members we can do more to make positive impacts in our communities.
 
In the spirit of the summer Olympics, we have developed a gold medal award for the clubs who induct a new member during the month of August. Many of the events at the Olympics are team sports. If you consider your club as your team, then you are part of helping your team win a gold medal. Those clubs that induct a new member in August will be recognized in September and will receive their gold medal award.
 
You might be thinking ‘How can I help my team win a gold medal?’ Take the membership challenge of ‘Be One – Bring One.’ That is invite people to come and share the Magic of Rotary with you. Bring a friend, business associate, business customer, your cousin or anyone who you think might share your vision of a better future for your communities.
 
Yours in Rotary,
Steve Gage
