Fellow Rotarians,

 

Our next meeting on October 1st is Fellowship Day with each of us as the speaker. One of the most experienced fire officers in the United States George Picket is also invited as a speaker. You can read more about our Fellowship Day and George Picket in the latest Bulletin on our website at www.nyrotary.org/Bulletin/bulletin100102.pdf.

 

Also during Fellowship Day, New York Rotarian Lillian Coury will conduct a 30-minute open discussion forum from 1:00-1:30 p.m., to address membership concerns, and how the New York City Rotary Club can attract and retain new members. Lillian is a Certified Integral Coach and President of Pegasus Pathways, Inc. Lilian sent me the following message about her discussion forum:

 

The purpose of the program will be:

 

- To examine the purpose for our existence

 

- To discover what makes current New York Rotarians continue their commitment.

 

- To identify the principals and guiding forces that will enable us to attract new members through our own renewed commitment and to help prepare an updated membership brochure

 

Questions under discussion are:

 

- Why are we Rotarians?  (e.g. why do we exist?  Why Rotary, and not another organization?)

 

- What is our "domain"?  (e.g. NYU's domain, as discovered by their new president, is "knowledge".)

 

- Why invite others to become Rotarians (both individuals and corporations)?

 

PLEASE GIVE SOME THOUGHT AND SOUL SEARCHING TO THESE QUESTIONS -- WE ALL WILL BENEFIT FROM OUR COMPOSITE MOTIVES!

 

Thanks

Lillian
