District 5440 Passport Club: The Rotary Club of SS has talked often of how to be more flexible and inclusive for people interested in being a member, but not able to make the noon meetings. Well, the district must have heard us talking because they are working on a Passport Club. The District 5440 Passport Club is specifically designed for members we have lost in the past, current members we are at risk of losing, or any other membership prospect for whom the traditional club meeting format does not work. The initial recruitment of members for the District 5440 Passport Club will target “Those touched by Rotary”, who are not currently Rotary members. This group includes: Scholarship recipients, RYLA Alumni, Young RYLA alumni, Parents of students, participants, awardees and those above, Exchange students, Peace Fellows, and those who have left Rotary for a variety of other reasons. The intent of this club is not to compete with current clubs, but to offer another option to those individuals who have not yet joined, have left, or are considering leaving Rotary. More information is attached. Upcoming: There is a BOD meeting next Monday at noon via Zoom. All are welcome! Meeting ID: 884 9104 9760 Passcode: 052037 Next week's meeting will be Tara Weaver and the Rotary Grant Recipients! See you next Tuesday! Gillian
