Guest Speaker: PDG Irving Toliver-9/20/12

Today's guest speaker was Past District Governon Irving Toliver.  Irving is a member of the Huntington Station Rotary Club and served as District Governor for District 7260 for the Rotary Year 2011-2012.  Todays visit was informing us about District Membership (which he is the District Membership Chair) and the trends in Rotary we are facing in North America.  Even though worldwide rotary membership is holding around 1.2 million members, it has been steadily declining in North America for years.  Irving told us about new strategies to recuit new members as well as engaging them to stay Rotarians for many years.  He encouraged our club to try new ideas to attract members.  If we all work together, we can all keep Rotary Strong for another 100 years!
