 WOW what a DLM! PRIP Rick King reminded us that Mankind is our Business and clubs must recruit, induct and involve new Rotarians to stay vibrant! To reach that goal, each Club needs a Vision of what they want to achieve, but you cannot reach that vision if you don't have a goal, and you can't reach your goal if you don't have a business plan to get there, and you can't have a plan without the dedication of your members, and to keep the members dedicated, you need to monitor the plan to reach the goal of 3000 Rotarians by 2010!
