Adding "Rotary History" to your events can help
all of us. We believe that our work, and your use of it, will aid in member
retention and great TRF participation. A PDG
recently told us that after removing the emphasis on history, the
district's clubs showed a sharp decline in membership.
Ask us
how we can help your club or district.
