Hamilton AM Rotary Annual Membership Survey Results
At the June 18 club meeting, PDG Anne Bermingham presented the results of the annual club membership survey.  The survey was completed by 23 or 36 members, a 64% response rate down from 83% last year.
 
In this survey, over 85% of members indicated they were satisfied as members. 95% felt welcome in the club and 91% indicated that they felt club members cared about each other. 87% enjoyed club meetings.
 
Key areas noted for improvement were membership growth, higher attendance at weekly meetings and focusing club efforts as there is always a lot going on. Focusing membership recruitment on certain demographics was suggested and drawing those individuals to club meetings, socials and events so they could have a taste or what Rotary is all about, was suggested.
 
Some other key suggestions include reducing the number of club committees, encouraging all members to join in committee work and hosting a “Club Fair” in the Fall of each year – hopefully to attract more members and sustain those already in the club.
Communication to members got high marks as did seeking input from members, both at 95%.
 
Finally. A high number of members felt they made valuable connections through the club and membership gave them opportunities to use their talents and skills. Members felt the positive experience of membership was worth the money expended and also felt through Rotary, they were able to make a difference in the community and the world.
 
In this author’s personal experience, not many clubs are able to conduct such a comprehensive and valuable survey during the Rotary year and significant recognition should go to PDG Anne Bermingham of 2W A Consulting for this excellent contribution to the Hamilton AM Rotary Club!

Hamilton AM Rotary Recognizes President Celine Legret
June is the closing month for the 2024-2025 Rotary year.  At the club‘s June 18 meeting special recognition was given to soon departing President, Celine Legret.
 
A regular club practice is to bestow a bright yellow “Rotarian at Work” vest, suitable monogramed with the President’s name and year of service, on the condition that the individual continues to join in Rotary community efforts – as we know Celine will.  In fact, she may be so glad the year is over that she will gladly spend a few hours in community service as needed. 
 
In the picture below, Celine models her new duds!
 
 
 
Hamilton AM Rotary Supports Junior RYLA
RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) is an international program designed to develop leadership skills and foster a sense of service in young people, often through conferences and training programs.
 
Junior RYLA is an annual Rotary District 7090 event for youth between 15-18 years old.  On May 2- 4 weekend, about 30 youth from Canada and the USA gathered at Hamilton’s Canterbury Hills , gathered at Canterbury Hills Conference Centre, Ancaster.  The weekend program focussed on leadership and teamwork skills.  Leo, the youth sponsored by the Hamilton AM Rotary Club completed the high ropes with a person who started out as a competitor but the two quickly learned that only by working together could they complete the challenge!  
 
Supporting the program, Hamilton AM club leads were Youth Committee Chair Ryan Dorosz and STEP (Short Term Exchange Program) Coordinator Cheryl Gzik.
