"It doesn't matter how good you are if nobody knows
you're there...."
This statement from Roger Johnston, Marketing
Consultant, says it all.
In these days of falling service club membership, how
can you attract new members to share the work - and
the fun?
This question is on every Rotarian's lips and is
probably the most important aspect of Rotary right
now - membership growth depends on marketing
your club. No growth inevitably means a decline in
numbers.
Rotary Down Under would like to help you. Please
