PROGRAM:
Linda Magarian
discussed the new brochure which can/will be used for recruiting
new members. Plus, she outlined the objective, requesting that
everyone is welcomed to suggest incentives and motivational
rewards. Introductory remarks from Diane were “Today’s
program is all about membership. In November, our club board
noted that membership had slowly declined over the years to a
level that requires the club to boost its efforts to bring our
membership back to historical levels. Accordingly, the board
asked the Membership Committee, co-chaired by Linda
Magarian and Daryal Gant, to devise an ambitious plan
that would increase our membership by a net 10 this year,
bringing us up to 90 or more. We are now at 79. So, today we
will hear about the plan and how we will implement it. I think
you will be excited about what we have in mind.” Daryal
then gave background information on our speaker, Tony Molino.
Tony is a 27 year member of Kiwanis and an attorney by
trade. He explained the recruiting plan and all about increasing
membership. Complementing his program was a slide presentation
and flyers that explained the six “P’s” of membership growth.
Daryal then posed three questions about membership
recruiting: WHO (everyone) – WHERE (everywhere) – HOW (just ask)
– and introduced the eight membership recruiting chair people:
Jim Ackland, Carl Christensen, Mary Gant, Joel Smith, Nick
Berkuta, Bill Scherkey, Pam Feterl, Paul Westmoreland. Each
had a list of who is in their group and the groups all met after
the meeting was closed.
Closing Song:
“Come on Kiwanis” led by Ed Moulton and Tom Burrows.
