The Rotary International Board of Directors has reaffirmed the need to strengthen our membership by setting a goal of 1.5 million members by the year 2005, Rotary's centennial. But to reach that ambitious goal, all of Rotary must join together in fullfilling Rotary's global quest. To strengthen Rotary's membership, I ask:

Every Rotarian to:

• Proudly display your membership in rotary by wearing your lapel pin.
• Discuss the many benefits of Rotary membership with business and professional associates.
• Invite an outstanding leader in your business, profession or community to become a Rotarian.

Every Rotary Club to:

• Induct at least one new member every month with an annual net membership gain of at least five members every year.
• Develop and implement a membership development strategy that is appropriate for your community.
• Offer a comprehensive orientation program to all new members.
• Share Information on Members who relocate with clubs in their new communitie
