by PDG Jim Jeselnick, District Membership Chairman
BAM! Several Rotary clubs in District 6540 "brought a member" to their club. The first session of the District Membership Contest has officially ended and the winner of the $500 cash prize is the Rotary Club of Gary, with a 34.5% increase. Under the direction of President Shirley Caylor, the club added 10 new members and went from 29 to 39! Congratulations Gary Rotary Club!
There was a tie for second place between Angola and Roseland, who each grew 25.9%. Third place went to Fowler with an impressive 22.2% gain. District Membership Chair Jim Jeselnick will present the check to the Gary club in the near future.
Overall, the District added 93 new members, with just 7 Rotary clubs not reporting. That is great work, but we still have a long way to go to get to 3,010 members for our District by June 30th. The contest begins all over again and a second winner will be announced after the March 31st deadline. Please encourage every member to invite a prospective guest or to turn a name over to the club's Membership Chair.

Editor's Note : Congratulation's to the Gary Rotary Club on an outstanding job of recruiting new members. What a fine job by all of us, as Fowler Rotarians, on our outstanding effort. But you know what, we know that we can do better. Let's decide that 3rd place is fine, but not quite good enough. Why, because we know that we can do better. Let's all, each and every one of us, go out and find those individuals who would like to be a Rotarian, to serve our community in many ways. We know they are out there, and all we need to do is ASK! We know that we can do it! We are off to a great start for this new quarter with two new members already. So, let's get going, and let's make it happen.
