Program: Celeste Lisko and Jill Cox, Boardman Rotary Membership

Tuesday, Aug. 9, was "Bring a Friend to Rotary" Day for Boardman Rotary. The meeting, the first planned for the new Rotary year, is designed to help increase attendance by three percent over the 2016-2017 term.

After viewing a short video on what the club does during a regular year, Jill Cox went over the rules of membership:

prospective members are welcome to join the regular club meetings with their sponsor for a maximum of two meetings.
After attending meetings, the prospective members are welcome to apply for membership.
The application can be submitted to Jill or Matt Parkes for processing.
Once received, Jill or Matt will forward the application to Beth Ann Tabak to be printed in the weekly newsletter for a period of two weeks.
- During this time, Rotary members are asked to view the name of the member and the classification, and voice any concerns over the new member.
Once the name has appeared in the newsletter for a period of two weeks, and if no objections are raised, the member will be invoiced for dues. Once dues are received, the new member will be pinned.
