It was Saturday night fever and sheer magic thon the 17 at the Golf Club. No wonder there

was a Magic Show going with it! As the melodious tones of Happy Birthday for the grandmother and the grandson rang around the lawns of the Club House, the cool evening air had something to offer to the assorted invitees present – magic show for the kiddos, appetizers for the teetotalers, and a small or a large for those who wanted to warm up for the evening.

Membership Month

Extending Rotary Every 14 hours of every day a new Rotary club is chartered in one of the

more than 150 countries in which Rotary exists. This steady growth in new clubs is extremely important in extending the worldwide programs and influence of Rotary International. New Rotary clubs may be established anywhere in the world where the fundamental principles of Rotary may be freely observed and wherever it can reasonably be expected that a successful club can be maintained. A club must be organized to serve a specific "locality" or clearly identified territory in which there are enough business or professional persons of good character engaged in proprietary or management positions. A minimum of 40 potential classifications is necessary for a proposed new club, and from that list a permanent membership of at least 20 members must be enrolled. Occasionally an existing club will cede a portion of its territory or will

share the same territory with a new club. In the process of organizing a new club, the first step is to conduct a survey of the locality to determine the potential for new club extension. T h e d i s t r i c t g o v e r n o r ' s s p e c i a l representative guides the organization of the new club. Among the requirements for a new club is the adoption of the Standard Rotary Club Constitution, a minimum of 20 charter members with clearly established classifications, payment of a charter fee, weekly meetings of the provisional club and the adoption of a club name that will distinctly identify it with its locality. A provisional club becomes a Rotary club when its charter is approved by the board of Rotary International. It is a great opportunity and special duty of all Rotarians to assist and cooperate in organizing new clubs. Knowing that two new Rotary clubs will be chartered someplace in the world today, tomorrow and every day provides a strong endorsement of the vitality and extension of Rotary service throughout the world.

Looking Back, Looking Forward

• Write reviews – of your most pleasurable experiences. Survey them and savor these experiences. Review your worst experiences.

• Write a “have done” list – valuable antidote to the “To do” list. Your self esteem will grow accordingly.

• Close the day – like a file, and archive it. Sweep out any frustrations or fears from the day.

• Plan three goals – achievable ones, for tomorrow – one at work, one at home, one for your own time.

• Write your goals down – resolve not to think about them until the following day. Now relax.
