Slide 12 Why Bother? Let’s discuss this as a group today. Here are some discussion ideas: 1.Share the good things we do in Rotary with the rest of the non-Rotary world. 2.Promote our fund raising and community service projects to non-Rotarians. 3.Attract the media to pay attention, and hopefully report on, the good things we are doing. 4.Learn from other Rotarians worldwide in an open forum where we exchange ideas. 5.Make new member prospects aware of our work 6.Attract potential younger members who view social media as an integral part of their lives.
