Characteristics of Clubs with a Consistent Growth Culture.
The Zone 32 Membership seminar featured PDG Herb Klotz, Zone 32 Membership Coordinator, who presented results of a survey completed across the United States and Canada on clubs that grew consistently over a 5 year period. It was very well done. The membership portion of the session was followed by another session dedicated to Assistant Governors. We highly encourage that all Rotarians and not just club leaders, view this interesting session at https://youtu.be/hkKHN72dUII since growing membership is EVERY Rotarian’s responsibility.
Club Transformation and Membership Summit
This multi-district Summit featured RI President Nominee Stephanie Urchick, Past RI Director Jeff Cadorette, and PDG Tom Gump. Our District had good representation, and there were great tips offered. Listen to the 30-minute presentation by going to: https://youtu.be/5NMXML39cXg

On January 18, the hosting Rotary Club of Gettysburg and event sponsors Members 1st Federal Credit Union and the WWII American Experience Museum (venue sponsor) held a very successful RMB networking event at the WWII American Experience Museum with some 20 to 25 Rotarians and guests attending from ten District 7390 clubs (Carlisle, Carlisle Sunrise, D7390 Passport, Gettysburg, Hershey, Lancaster, Lititz, Uptown York, York-North, and West Shore). These clubs represented all major areas of our Rotary district.
Kudos to the Rotary Club of Gettysburg and its President Michael Hanson for hosting such a wonderful event and to the WWII American Experience Museum for providing such an exciting and educational venue. One participant indicated "The museum was an amazing venue and made the whole experience that much more enjoyable." Thanks go to district RMB Steering Committee member, Mary Brunski, for running the Circle exercise in such a fun and efficient way. Well done all.
Think Valentine’s Day and Rotary! Express a sentiment for your Sweetheart and have it hung on a lamppost in downtown Lancaster. Pets are also included and your sentiment to them will be displayed at Binn’s Park or the Dog park on Marietta Ave. Finding your heart is a fun scavenger hunt while exploring the restaurants, galleries and shopping of downtown Lancaster.
