WE DON’T ASK
THEM
“… the biggest
reason why good people don't
join Rotary is that we Rotarians don't ask them to.
Oh sure, we ask our sons
and daughters, our close
business associates and
friends to join sometimes, but we so often don't even
think of our duty as (Rotary) advocates with most people we run
across in our daily lives.
That doctor I met who had brought his
club president into the world has, in 49 years of
Rotary membership only
introduced one new member
into his club. He told me he had delivered about 1,000
babies in his career. I think at least 10 percent of them would
have been excited, elated and
deeply honored
just as his club president
was, if the doctor
who brought them into this world had
invited them many years
later to join Rotary. What a missed opportunity.”
