DECEMBER - FAMILY OF ROTARY
MONTH |
|
| A) BACKGROUND |
Friendship
was the foundation on which Rotary service
was built. The Family of Rotary Resource
Group will encourage clubs to care for fellow
Rotarians and their families; expand their
Rotary family to more fully encompass youth
involved in Rotary programs and other community
service partners; and extend membership
opportunities to members of the family of
Rotary. Over the next year, the Family of
Rotary Resource Group will provide guidance
to Rotary clubs and districts, and encourage
them to promote projects and activities
to enhance every family of Rotary member’s
experience. In addition, the resource group
will encourage every Rotarian to celebrate
December as Family Month. By boosting membership
and participation in Rotary clubs, a healthy,
global family of Rotary will help to ensure
Rotary’s continued presence as a vital
instrument of service in the century ahead. |
