August is Membership and Extension Month, a time to reflect on your club’s membership. Are your numbers increasing? Is your membership diverse? Brainstorm with your club on how to recruit new members. The Club President’s Manual (222) contains an appendix worksheet on strategies for membership recruitment. Use the resources below to help your club improve its member retention and recruitment:

Each DVD features a compilation of Rotary videos, including Welcome to Rotary , various Humanity in Motion public service announcements, and segments from RVM: The Rotarian Video Magazine . The set contains selections in all available languages.
