Membership Matters

Have you heard of Rotary in Lightsview? Hopefully that will all change very soon.
An information meeting was held in Oakden on 17th August which was attended
by 35+ people, with a great deal of interest being shown for a Club in the
Lightsview area. So much so that a second information meeting is scheduled for
31st August. The formation of a Club in Lightsview will encompass Lightsview,
Hampstead Gardens, Windsor Gardens, Northgate, Oakden and Gilles Plains areas.

At the moment this area is a relatively untapped
resource for Rotary and, judging by the response
to the information meetings, is something that the people of this area
are keen to support. Thanks to the power of social media, and some
amazing footwork by those who letterbox dropped, Rotary in Lightsview
already has a significant online presence and following.

The formation of a new Club is always exciting, especially now that Clubs
are able to develop and run as they choose. Congratulations to Area Governor, Stephany Martin and her
team for their initiative in highlighting an area with a need for a Rotary presence and the amazing effort
they have put in. Please head over to Facebook and like and follow “Rotary in Lightsview”. Please show
your support for this initiative as I think we may see some exciting things coming out of this area.

I would like to thank the Rotary Club of Salisbury for inviting me to deliver a presentation about
membership to their Club on Monday, 22nd August. Everyone was so warm, welcoming and engaging.
It is another example of how Rotary connects the world. Having the opportunity to meet so many
people who are motivated and driven to make the world a better place reminds me of what an amazing
organisation Rotary International is. Congratulations to the Club for their online presence. Their website is
easy to navigate and a great reflection of the work they are doing to support their community. Well done!

September will be a busy membership month as we kick off the “Remote
Membership Drive”. The “Rotary Ute”will be travelling from Kadina, up through
Coober Pedy, Alice Springs, Yulara, Roxby Downs, Peterborough, Broken Hill,
Pt Augusta and Port Pirie before returning home to Adelaide. If you’re out and
about in any of these areas and see the ute please, flash your lights or come
and say “Hi”. If you happen to catch a snap please share it to the District
Facebook page so we can track the journey. The journey will be published on
the District Facebook page so everyone can experience the vastness of our
District and the incredible people that support Rotary in some of our most remote areas.
Hopefully we will be able to grow our numbers and expand our Rotary family.

Don’t forget, the ClubRunner Raffle results will be published in the District
Classifieds. Watch out to see if your Club is the winner of $500.00.
