IMPACT by Rotary Club of the Foothills was represented well at the 2023 Rotary International Convention in Melbourne, Australia! President, Patrick Longano, and President-Elect, Katie Tocci, were honored to present the IMPACT innovative club model for the second time at an international convention to a room of 450 attendees. The response was overwhelmingly positive. It's hard to believe that this movement started in Lenoir, NC simply to give everyone with a desire to serve their community and beyond a chance to be a Rotarian on their own terms.

IMPACT by Rotary Club of the Foothills does not require weekly meetings. It's an opportunity for members to serve their own way through club projects AND on their own. Why join Rotary? There's something special about the instant connection with new organizations and opportunities, both locally and globally. IMPACT by Rotary Club of the Foothills does host family socials periodically to encourage families to get to know each other. We also offer an affordable dues structure with full membership in Rotary International. Be a Rotary Ninja! Serve. Have Fun. Go Home.

When people are asked why they joined Rotary and why they stay in Rotary, often the top two answers are service and fellowship. June is designated as Rotary Fellowships Month to recognize the importance of international fellowship and goodwill among Rotarians with similar recreational and vocational interests, promoting increased participation in fellowships, and increasing understanding of this program.

While the intent of this recognition focuses on “international” fellowships, having the ability to do service with like-minded people and making new friends at the same time, is a great incentive for attracting new members and retaining existing members in our clubs. As Rotarians, we can share a common passion, hobby, or interest with others outside our club, our district or country.

As we think about our Public Image/Public Relations campaigns, we need to let people know that we are an International Organization that affords people the opportunity to develop friendships with others from not only their local community, but worldwide.
