Section 'Jwo The Canadian Statesman, Bowmaniville, Decem ber 11, 19745 RotrinsUrged To Increase Memnbership by Jean Ahlvik At the Thursday meeting Of the Rotary Club, Gerry Ger- rits, local b uilder and fatber of eight, was inducted into the club. He was introduced by is proposer Fred Beaucage. A group of four past-presidents, Keith Semon, Stew McTa- vish, Keith Jackson and Bill Thiesburger performed the ceremony. Mr. Thiesburger provided a littie levity at the solemn occasion as hie called for a knife to bel p im penetrate Mr. Gerrîts' lapel s0 tbat bie could affix tbe mnembership button. Bob Stevens received a pin in recognition of 24 years of perfect attendance. President Aif Alun introdu- ced the speaker for the afternoon, Dr. Keith Billett, vice-president of the club and chairman of the membership committee and tb6 member- ship development committee. Dr. Billett bas been an optometrist in Bowmapville' since 1950 and a Rotarian, since 1952. Dr. Billett explained that the membership committee is cbargedwitb tbe responsibili- ty of rcviewing 'tbe eligibility Of proposed members while the membersbip developmnent committee bas the task of up- dating the classification index to see whicb job classifica- tions are open so that new members can be proposed for them. Rotary Clubs are restricted to one member from eacb walk of if e. However, after 15 ycars of membership, a Rot- arian becomes a "senior active member". This means that another individual from bis particular classifieation can be proposed for member- sbip. A 60-ear-old Rotarian wbo basb een an active member for 10 years is also considered a senior active member. This is also the case with 65-year-olds wbo bave been members for five years. The need to increase mem- bership was stressed'by Mr. Bllett. District,707 (to wich Bowmanville Rotary Club be- longs' bas lost 100,members in the ast year and Dr. Billett estimates tbat a 10 per cent increase in membersbip "FOR ME FOR CH RISTMAS?"

JAME.. Of ice 623-4406 Residence 623-5023 would be necessary to offset this oss. Altbougb Rotary Interna- tional is increasing its mem-r bersbip, tbe figures for North America are declining or stagnating. Dr. Billett attri- butes this fact to a general societal malaise which is charactenized by a growing disrespect for the law and a lack of self -disciplining and self-denial. Specîficalhy in Ro- tary, this takes the farm of a hack of dedication to the rules of Rotary regarding classifi- cation and attendance. "Not only do we need more Rotaryj members," lie commenteci "1we nced more Rotary in our members." Dr. Bllett gave the mem- bers a brief refresher course in the procedure for proposing a new member for Rotary. He reinforced is point by show- ing a slide and tape presenta- tion of the enthusiastic in- vovement of the Guadalajara club in recruiting new mem- bers in Mexico. Tbey use the telephon es and business, dinectonies to disco- ver if any new classifications bave moved into their area. Tbey also divide tbemselves into groups of five to actively seek out new members. Once they bave inducted a new member they try to involve hlm îmmediatehy in the work of the club. He is teamed witb bis proposer as a guide, because they believe to become really invalved in Rotary, a man must know wbat it is ahi about. Since Service is the ideal of Rotary, the more growth the more service is possible. This was the essential message of Dr. Billett's presentation. In thanking the speaker, Earl Wolff accepted the chal- lenge on bebaîf of is fellow Rotarians, to work more closely with the membership committee in order to in- crease membership., President AIf Allin conclud- ed the meeting with a thought for the day whicb many members tbougbt panticulanhy appropiate: "You'ne getting a long in years when you don't dare resist temptation for fear you won't get' another chance.
