LOOKING FOR THE CLUB CALENDAR?
Dave Shoemaker has made it easy to find
I have switched the calendar page in our website to show the google calendar for "norristownrotary.org".
There has been some confusion over calendars in the past. From now on, the google calendar is the only one. I have told Sunanda about the change. She only needs to edit one calendar. ( although the future is rather empty at the moment, different issue ).
No one is required to login to clubrunner to see this. They just search for or go to "norristownrotary.org" and click on the calendar page. Editing the thing requires logging into the club's google account.

Hello Rotarians,
This is a recap letter of the Rotary Rebound: S.T.A.R.T. Now! campaign. Hopefully, you have tried some of the ideas in my previous 5 letters. If you did, Rotary thanks you. If you didn’t, then please read the highlights below and give one or more of them a try. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Talk about the good Rotarians do. Rotary clubs here and around the world have done amazing things to help people in need.
Ask just one person to attend your next club meeting. Your friend or neighbor may be looking for a way to contribute to the community and Rotary may be the answer—just ask!
Have two members approach a candidate together. He/she will feel special knowing they would be an excellent fit for membership in your club.
Talk about membership at all of your club meetings. Talk frequently about membership and you will be more likely to bring it up to others outside of your club.
Every person you talk to is a potential member. Ask family members, work associates, past members or previous club visitors, church friends and networking groups. They are everywhere!
HURRY! TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR DISTRICT 7430’S NEW MEMBER INCENTIVE
FOR EACH NEW MEMBER ADDED BEFORE APRIL 30TH YOUR CLUB WILL RECEIVE $100.00.
The most important practice I can leave you with is this:

JIM NUTT is leading a project to gage the interest in purchasing new NORRISTOWN ROTARY shirts for the upcoming season. Please look at the link below, check out the Rotary clothing section, and see if there are any shirts that you would consider purchasing.
This year Rotary has put emphasis on Public Image and how clubs promote themselves and Rotary.
Status - Our Club is on Track to meet the District Governor's Public Image Challenge. We have already met the challenge for January, February and March.
We will easily meet April's challenge but you help is needed to meet May's. The club must publish and submit a video promoting club membership. Can you help us? Please see Mark.
Note: Rotary Club of Norristown Digital Assets have been moved
Assets such as the club letterhead, signature logo, instructions to use mobile Clubrunner and Tutorial for the Fellowship table can be downloaded from the Club Google Drive.
