Each One Reached One
Over 200 Rotarians, friends of Rotary, and prospective Rotarians attended the Rotary District 5890 Membership Seminar on Saturday, August 8th at North Shore Senior High School. The District Membership Committee and the North Shore and Galena Park /Jacinto City Rotary Clubs collaborated with Rotarians from all over the District to inform, inspire, and energize attendees of all ages – from teen Interact members to 55 year veteran Rotarians. Energized panelists and expert presenters detailed the best strategies for recruiting, retention, and revitalizing Rotary clubs, Interact, and Roteract.

Via moving video clips documenting the impact of Rotary programs like Polio Plus, photographs demonstrating the joy of receiving a life-altering wheelchair, and statistics on the success of the school for the children of the dump, attendees saw "humanity in motion." Service above self was evident by the projects that offered food and education today that would create opportunity tomorrow for children living in extreme poverty. The morning closed with very moving "minutes" from Rotarians sharing the accomplishments of various Rotary projects in combating illiteracy, providing clean water, building habitable housing, and battling crippling diseases.

District Governor Ed Charlesworth closed the seminar with a charge to commit to the continued growth of our clubs and the continuing success of Rotary.

The Skyline and River Oaks Clubs received participation awards.

Many thanks to the planning committee and all of the participating Rotarians for the success of the seminar.
