SUSTAINABLE MEMBERSHIP GROWTH

The Rotarian e‑Club Fellowship recently hosted an inspiring presentation by Susan Benedyka, President of the Rotary e-Club of Change Makers, who shared how her club grew from 18 to 42 members by adopting fresh, sustainable membership strategies.

The e‑Club of Change Makers is part of Rotary District 9790 — a district clearly on the move when it comes to membership growth.

If your club is looking for practical ideas to strengthen and grow membership, Susan’s story is well worth exploring.

Last night Kero had the privilege of facilitating a new Four Way Test club building workshop with the wonderful members of the Rotary Club of Armadale —and what a fantastic evening it was.

Rotarians, both new and experienced, embraced the opportunity to reflect on how the Four Way Test applies in practical, everyday club life. In a fun, open and relaxed environment, members shared their experiences, challenged each other’s thinking, and highlighted the many strengths that make their club such a success.

What stood out most was Armadale Rotary’s willingness to reflect, learn and grow. Their journey in building a resilient, modern and inclusive club in recent years shows exactly how powerful Rotary’s values can be when they are actively lived.

Thank you to the club for your warm welcome, your thoughtful participation, and your clear commitment to the principles that underpin Rotary International. This is Rotary at its best.

What if all 45,000 Rotary Clubs worldwide… all did any service project they wanted… ALL ON THE SAME DAY?

Imagine the IMPACT of 1.2 million Rotarians, plus community volunteers! Think of the REACH of the publicity for Rotary, and the new members it can attract! Picture how you can ENGAGE your community in service, and energize and retain your members! ADAPT with the optional new fundraising model that supplements your existing fundraisers!

This is the EPIC Day of Service, a grassroots event organized by Rotary Clubs for our communities around the globe. It also benefits our Clubs, helping us succeed in our Rotary Action Plans. Save the date – May 16, 2026 – plan your project, and put your Club on the EPIC map
