club brochure available at the Brand Center. They can edit the content and upload their own photos.
Rotary Basics is a guide to all things Rotary, from how Rotary began to how you can optimize your member experience. It’s now part of the
New Member Welcome Kit, and is also sold separately on
Shop. The revised
Connect for Good guide suggests ways members can get involved in Rotary to make an impact in their community and globally. If you need ideas for giving new members a meaningful experience, look to
Introducing New Members to Rotary: An Orientation Guide. These resources are available for free download and are sold on
shop.rotary.org.
If you want your club to remain relevant to its members and community, consider taking the

Membership Assessment Tools publication. Another guide,
Strengthening Your Membership, helps club leaders create a membership development plan.
Also, our
Membership page features an array of resources to suit every need, whether you’re working with clubs and districts in your region to attract potential members, or exchanging tips on engagement.
