Could this work in our club?
- Adult Rotary alumni who explicitly ask about continuing service, fellowship or membership. Use when alumni have opted in to hear about ongoing involvement.
Before you start
- Current membership categories, costs, expectations and club options verified.
- Preference record distinguishes service, events, volunteering and membership interest.
- Hosts briefed to disclose commitments and avoid high-pressure follow-up.
At the end: Follow up once within three days of the experience; if there is no reply, send no further membership messages unless the alumnus re-engages.
Before your club says yes
Does the idea fit?
Talk with the people it is meant to serve and check that the need is real.
Who can say yes?
Name the person or group that can approve the work, spending and any safety arrangements.
Are people protected?
Check privacy, consent and safety. Collect only the information you genuinely need.
Can everyone take part?
Check the language, format, place, technology and cost for barriers.
Are the facts and permissions right?
Check names, claims, images, quotations, partner references and Rotary branding.
How will we learn?
Note where things stand now, check in at 30, 60 and 90 days, and decide what to do next.
