Rotary Days
 |
This year, RI President Gary CK Huang is urging all Rotarians to Light Up Rotary by participating in Rotary Days. The Rotary Day concept is a simple one: hold a fun, informal event in your community for the non-Rotary public and use it as an opportunity to introduce them to Rotary. It’s that easy. Rotary Days can help your club drive up interest in membership, strengthen your club’s relationships with local institutions and community members, and improve Rotary’s image in your community. Imagine the collective impact we can have if all 34,000 Rotary clubs worldwide make a concerted effort to introduce the public to the fun, rewarding experiences that we all enjoy as Rotary members.
Any club, big or small, can host a Rotary Day. Neighboring clubs can pool their resources and cohost a Rotary Day event, and even entire districts can come together to host a large-scale Rotary Day.
Rotary Days can take any form, as long as they are fun and appealing to the non-Rotary public. Here are just a few possibilities:
• Hold an outdoor picnic or barbecue
• Host a sporting event or concert
• Organize a family fun run
• Align the event with a public parade or festival
• Sponsor an event at a museum, art gallery, or cultural center
• Secure an auditorium or arena and plan
