Growing Rotary enables us to do more good in our communities and the world.  Attendance at the D. 5890 Membership Meetings is also a great opportunity to bond with your club's Area Membership Chair (AMC).

Topic - "PARTNERSHIP as a means to INCREASE & RETAIN MEMBERS" - Let's learn specific information about the Literacy Project Partnership with FIRST BOOK, HOUSTON TEAM that includes involvement with the following: Disney, other community service groups for financial support, Home Depot, Houston Food Bank & Kroger per in-kind donations, literacy groups per manpower, Jack J. Valenti School of Communication at U of H per the filming of the entire process, entering the video into the World/Fest International Film Festival, and using the Award-Winning video to raise money to continue and expand the Program.
Per Membership Recruitment & Retention, all Partnerships include member participation, involvement per potential members, and, importantly, follow-up with letters of thanks, pictures, videos and a call to action.  
 
Thank you, clubs, for your effort per membership growth and retention!
