Last night Nick, Liz, Arie and Janice, from Membership and Public Image committees, asked those members who have been in Papanui Rotary for 5 years and under to join them for a pizza and plonk evening. We also invited the Friends of our club to come too which added yet another dimension to the discussions.
We wanted to find out what they see as the way forward for them personally and to share their insights as to what has worked for them and where we can do better to make their experiences more positive.
It was a really good session where some new ideas came to light, some areas for improvement discussed and some great positive moments were shared. These will be taken to the Board this Tuesday and will come out in the next Club Chat for all members to read.
Thank you to those 20 people who gave up their time once again on a busy Rotary weekend.
Mandi, our latest prospective transferring member, joined us too and added some good comments from her old Rotary club which were very interesting.
As Philippa commented “ it is essential that we constantly keep testing the temperature of the members so that everyone feels valued”. I couldn’t have put it better myself !
Papanui Rotary is in good heart with such committed people who all want to add to our growing membership and experience of Rotary.
