How do you communicate with your community about your club? Are prospective members hearing about who you are and what you do? A great first impression increases clubs’ chances of getting new members. If your club is looking to increase membership and/or promote its unique culture, events, and service projects, you can customize a club brochure and edit the content or upload your own photos to make a distinctive promotional pamphlet.
 
 
Go to the Brand Center to find the new club brochure template. Clubs can can showcase their uniqueness by giving prospective members a customized brochure.  The template makes it easy for clubs to personalize contact information, annual events, and images. For example, include customizable inserts for Rotary’s programs for young leaders in the brochure, to show how clubs engage and empower young leaders in their communities. Use the Discover Rotary presentation and the Impact Begins With You prospective member brochure to introduce Rotary’s values and history and the benefits of membership to explain what sets Rotary apart from other organizations.
