January

• Check in with your Each One, Bring One Contact Person. Even if you didn’t designate a
  primary contact in July, you can do so now by emailing Matt Wideman. Designating a
  primary contact for this campaign is a great way to develop future club leaders through
  engagement and autonomy.
• Remind your members about the Each One, Bring One campaign by using one of the
  templates and tools below or create your own resources.
  • Template for internal club communications
  • Newsletter or weekly update template
• Each One, Bring One… Keep Two! When you approach membership growth from a
  systemic perspective that includes ALL of your members, you not only grow Rotary
  through growing relationships, but you strengthen the commitment and engagement of
  your current members. Take a few moments and check in with all members. Touch base
  with newer members. Rotary is as strong as our relationships with one another!

February

• Complete the Sharing the Rotary Experience Activity at a club meeting. This is a great
  activity to use in place of a speaker. Clubs that complete the activity, report it build
  camaraderie as members share their own memories and special experiences in Rotary.
• Develop a solid plan for welcoming and engaging guests
  • Consider using this Guest Welcome script or adapt to your own style. Create a
    culture where your current members feel very comfortable approaching guests to
    introduce themselves.
  • Engage with your Membership Committee to develop or adapt a Welcome to
    Your First Rotary Meeting handout for guests. Here is an example from Athens
    Sunrise Rotary.

March

• Remind your members about Each One, Bring One and internally recognize the
  members who participate. Consider a 1-2 minute acknowledgement/thank you during
  your monthly business meeting for members who participated last month.
• Devote a club meeting to Each One, Bring One and use the “Prospective Member” tool
  from Rotary International to identify prospective members in your community.
• Create a handout for club members to give prospective guests so they can learn about
  your club meeting times. Here is a great example from Granville Rotary.

April

• Assemble a team to attend a regional “Frankenstein” Member Orientation Building
  Workshop in the Spring (dates announced soon!). This creative and engaging workshop,
  hosted by the District Membership Team, brings the best and most innovative tools to the
  table and every club team will leave the workshop with a ready-to-implement new
  member orientation program that matches your club’s unique personality.
• Implement a guest follow up plan!
  • Inspire your membership committee to develop a plan to follow up with guests.
    Be sure to check out the templates in our EOBO Tool Kit or develop your own!

May

• Talk to your members about the monthly charitable incentive hosted by the district for
  members who participate in Each One, Bring One. If a member of your club has won the
  drawing, invite the charity to present at a club meeting.
• Share information about Each One, Bring One in your club’s newsletter.

June

• Consider hosting a community “open house” to celebrate your members and the
  community you serve. Clubs are encouraged to replicate “Meet Rotary” for in-person
  events or virtual gatherings. It’s a high-impact event that highlights the important work of
  Rotary while identifying opportunities for others to get involved.
• As the Rotary year comes to a close, think about ways your club might continue to
  engage with current and future members.
