Each Rotarian: Reach One, Keep One
The new membership slogan emphasizes the need for Rotarians to focus on both recruitment and retention in their membership growth efforts.
The RI Board of Directors adopted a new membership slogan, "Each Rotarian: Reach One, Keep One," at its June meeting. The slogan emphasizes the need for Rotarians to focus on both recruitment and retention in their membership growth efforts.
"Membership development is each Rotarian's responsibility," said Paul Netzel, a member of RI's Membership Development and Retention Committee and a past RI director.
"'Reach One' reminds us that because Rotary membership is by invitation, it's essential that each Rotarian reaches out and invites someone to join," added Netzel, a member of the Rotary Club of Los Angeles.
"'Keep One' reminds us that it's not sufficient to simply sponsor someone into Rotary; we must also see that new members become active and involved Rotarians. We know this is an essential element in membership retention."
The new slogan complements the Board's long-term membership strategy, which was also adopted at the June meeting.

Spotlight on Service Calf Fry Committee
When you combine two great Oklahoma events, what do you get? An even greater attraction for visitors to Northeast Oklahomaís Green Country! Thatís the thought behind the teaming up of Vinitaís 30th Annual Calf Fry Festival and Cook-Off and the 73rd Annual Will Rogers Memorial Rodeo, according to organizers.
ìThis is the premier calf fry event in Oklahoma,î said Chamber Director BJ Mooney, ìand many teams compete each year for top honors and the distinction of being the winner of the Worldís Largest Calf Fry Festival and Cook-Off.î
The event includes inflatables, arts & crafts, co-ed softball tournament, cook-off competition, celebrity judges, live entertainment, cowboy games and more. This year, the cooking teams will not only compete for the tastiest fries in the state but the ladies, age 21 and over, will strive for the ìBelle of the Ballî title in a showmanship competition.
