This is the August 2024 bulletin of the Rotary Club of Pune Lokmanyanagar, published during the club's Silver Jubilee year. It is addressed to club members and focuses on Membership and Club Development Month. The document contains messages from the President and Editor, along with practical guidance on membership growth and retention.
The President's message emphasizes the theme 'every member matters, every relationship matters and every act of service matters.' It highlights the 'Gift Me, Wish Me' initiative, where members celebrate birthdays through service at old age homes or by donating useful items. The Editor's editorial expands on this theme, discussing how personal milestones can become acts of giving and how senior citizens are living libraries of experience.
A dedicated section on Membership Development Month provides 13 actionable strategies for recruitment and retention. These include conducting exit interviews, giving every member a role, promoting open door policies, hosting open houses, and creating trial membership plans. The section also mentions successful approaches from Germany, India, and Africa that emphasize personal connections.
The bulletin includes a list of member birthdays for August and a feature on iconic Rotary quotes. It explains the meaning behind 'Service Above Self' by Paul Harris, 'He Profits Most Who Serves Best' by Arthur Frederick Sheldon, and 'The Way to Get Things Done is to Do Them' by Paul Harris. The document closes with a mention of the club's first Public Image project at Pune Airport.
