RCKB Membership.

It is quite challenging trying to be a true Rotarian. Providing Humanitarian services to the community is not an easy job. It is like mind over body situation where the mind is willing but the body is not. What make it tough is that you can not do the job in isolation ie by yourself . It has to be a team effort. This is where the true challenge lies, getting others to join and be committed to the job, as if motivating oneself is not enough.
Many Rotarian got themselves involved not knowing what it actually entailed. For example, the weekly meeting or as we term it fellowship gathering where Rotarian meet to discuss and exchange ideas only takes not more than two hours each time but many Rotarian find it difficult to attend let alone contribute fresh ideas. If one can not manage to attend this meeting regularly then what the hell he or she want to be called a Rotarian.
Next is the small financial commitment toward running of the club. It is each Rotarian responsibility to ensure all the dues are paid regularly as the club itself have to pay certain dues to the parent body. If a club is having cash flow problem, it will never be able to discharge its responsibility to the community.
This problem is not new and it is believed that many clubs are going through the same phase. The key to this issue is that each new Rotarian recruited must be committed to the Rotary cause. The question is can the club find such person in this difficult time.
