With the first ever Membership Summit at Daytona State College in Palm Coast around the corner, have you signed up? Unless you are comfortable with putting membership on autopilot, someone from your club needs to attend this event. How will you adapt your membership plan for the remainder of the year? The summit is 9am-12:30pm (Continental Breakfast and fellowship begins at 8am) on Saturday January 28. Cost is $25 and speakers will include Past Rotary International Director Jeffry Cadorette; Aide to Rotary International President Nominee Stephanie Urchick, Tom Gump; and Zone 33/34 Regional Membership Officer, Audley Knight. Seating will be limited, so sign up now. This is your club’s opportunity to examine recruitment and engagement.

On Saturday March 25 we will be doing District Grant Training followed by a food packing event, both at Beachside High School in St. Augustine along with RYLArians and Interactors from throughout the district. We will follow this with both Scotch & Wine Tastings at a separate location in St. Augustine. Details will be forthcoming.
