SUMMARY OF TALK
We need more Rotary Clubs, especially breakfast clubs, to be more serious about membership. His membership tools start with bold statement: create a large chart; display at each meeting; your club is showcased to all guests; try to bring more guests, as future members, especially local business people. Light up Rotary with one candle. He paid our president, Eric, a compliment. Also a thank you for the workers. Also, he complimented club on excellent food service delivered during meeting.
