Member Message: Win One, Keep One

Future Rotarian Ian say "Join the Fun"

Pres. Steve Blizzard thanks the Membership Team
of PDG John Capps, Ian & Gene McClendon  

District Membership Chair John T. Capps, III, Membership Committee Member Gene McClendon and their helper and Gene's grandson, 7 year old Ian Calmes, shared their "Win One, Keep One" membership message with the club during the August 27 Rotary program at the Newport Rotary Club. Simply put:

1. We all have a "Web of Influence", friends, relatives, associates and neighbors who would make good Rotarians and who would fit our Rotary club! 
2. We know why we are in Rotary- now we need to communicate that to others! 
3. We have a great tradition, great people, and an active service program in the Newport community- we have a great opportunity to share what we think is a great thing! 
4. We only have to get one member each to join to significantly increase our ability to serve the community- it's "do-able" for each of us.
5. It's time to reach those future Rotarians, and give them some of the advantages of service and fun that we have enjoyed during our Rotary experience.   

Thanks to John T., Gene, and Ian for their inspirational program!
