Per Rotary International Dist.6440 Gov. Ellen Young, this is "an example of what one club has done to put together a communication for potential membership. The piece also dovetails nicely with the January theme of Rotary Awareness. I think Joanne and her team [at the Rotary Club of Lombard] have done a great job communicating why people should join their club."
