Last week we welcomed our District Governor Joe Ruskey and his wife Tina. Joe gave a passionate talk about his story in Rotary.After a standing ovation, Rotary District Governor Joe Ruskey shared the difference Rotarians make when we work together.
In the past 10 years, he said, we have gained 1.2 million members. Also in the past 10 years, we have lost 1.2 million members. Why? They report their membership wasn’t relevant. “We know this isn’t true,” he says. “That means those who quit in the first three years simply don’t know what we really are.”
“So my goal,” Joe says, “is to tell the clubs, 3,000 members in this district, what an amazing organization of which they are part. I want to shift their understanding of what a Rotarian is.”
