2007-08 Year-End Participation Statistics*
As presented at our first club assembly of the 2007-2008 year, our Membership Committee set a participation* goal of 82% – arrived at after our long-range planning sessions and goal-setting sessions.
With makeups still coming in for the June meetings, we are well above 86%.Thanks to all who have worked so hard to stay connected!
*The following members have logged meeting attendance, service project efforts, committee meetings to move us toward our goals in the community and in the world, fellowship activities, and make-ups at other clubs or online.
For some, it’s was personal goal; for others, it’s a happy accident!
Statistics through 06/25/08 with makeups received through 06/24/08:
100% Attendance -- 1 Year: Charles Crowe, Kathy Edwards, Mason Oakes, Randy Shults, Brenda Thornburgh, Kathy Turpin, Robert Weir, and Jerry Young; 2 Years: Emily Jernigan, Terry McGhee, and Christina Young; 3 Years: Jim Bradbury, Lynn Cardwell, Louise Mixon, and Pat Powell.
Those marking 100% this year on their anniversary dates include Robin Textor (28 years); John Iacovino (23); Linda Brown (20); Dan Robbins (19); Karen Bridgeman (11); Ray Smith (4); Judi Gray and Veronica O'Hearn (2); and Dan DiGregorio, Theresa Venable, and Mike Morris (1).
The following members logged participation of 90% or better: Angi Agle, Fred Barry, Lydia Birk, Ken Brady, Jim Cape, Dave Coffey, Larry Dipboye, Nancy Donsbach, Leigha Edwards, Rodney Kyzer, Tom Lakers, Joe Lenhard, Dave McCoy, Kathy McNeilly, Pat Parr, Sam Pelchar, Henry Perry, Lou Rabinowitz, Dub Shults, and John Wheeler.
Those with 90% or better may actually have 100% attendance after outstanding makeups are submitted. Please email attendance@orbrc with any questions or comments.
And, if you have a question about your participation – whether you are interested in what constitutes a make-up, if you think your numbers are wrong, or whether you want to be sure you are meeting Rotary International’s 50% expectation – please check with Membership Committee Chair Karen Bridgeman or send an email to attendance@orbrc.org.
As a wise member of our club has pointed out, simply attending every meeting isn’t the point of encouraging participation – if we were all in our seats every Wednesday but didn’t take any action to improve our community or the world, there wouldn’t be a lot of reason for the club to exist. It’s the connections and the action that count.

OPEN CLASSIFICATIONS
Many of the classifications in our club have room for more members -- according to RI, we can have up to 10% of our membership in any given classification, and the only one that is full is Government Services - Management.
Open classifications -- those areas of our community's vocational makeup where we have no members -- follow. If you know someone who fits one of these open classifications (and, really, you DO!), someone you think would benefit from Rotary and strengthen our club, extend an invitation to join us for breakfast one week.
If you're not comfortable with the "ask," talk with one of the membership committee volunteers listed and the end of this page.
Remember that none of us would be here unless someone had asked us. Get YOUR ask in gear!

Emily Jernigan failed in her attempt to entice a rube (Mike Morris ... again) into joining Rotary so he could network and market his home brew.
