One of the blogs I read on a regular basis is written by Paul Kiser, Rotarian from District 5190. You will remember his blogs as often being re-posted here on "Rotary 360."
An excerpt from Paul's latest blog on Rotary and change reads:
For some it is the first stage: Denial:
“There is no membership crisis. The world is the same today as it always has been. Our club is fine, we’ve been around for decades and we will continue to be here for decades to come.”
For others it is Anger:
“This is our club! We don’t need to change, if someone wants to belong to our club they need to change to our way of doing things! Don’t tell me what to do, I’ve been around a lot longer than you! Most of our members aren’t even on Facebook!”
For those of us working to take our clubs into the next century of Rotary service, this is information to ponder and discuss with our Rotary leaders.
I encourage you to read the whole article. You will find it here:
