ABCs OF ROTARY (Cliff Dochterman)

Cliff Dochterman
RI President, 1992-93

The sponsor of a new member

The bylaws of Rotary clearly outline the procedure for a prospective member to be proposed for Rotary club membership.  The "proposer" is the key person in the growth and advancement of Rotary.   Without a sponsor, an individual will never have the opportunity to become a Rotarian.

The task of the proposed should not end merely by submitting a name to the club secretary or membership committee.  Rotary has not established formal responsibilities for proposers or sponsors; however, by custom and tradition these procedures are recommended in many clubs.  The sponsor should:

  • Invite the prospective member to several meetings prior to proposing the individual for membership
  • Accompany the prospective new member to one or more orientation/informational meetings
  • Introduce the new member to other club members each week for the first month
  • Invite the new member to accompany the sponsor to neighboring clubs for the first make-up meeting to learn the process and observe the spirit of fellowship
  • Ask the new member and spouse to accompany the sponsor to the club's social activities, dinners, or other special occasions
  • Urge the new member and spouse to attend the district conference with the sponsor
  • Serve as a special friend to assure that the new member becomes an active Rotarian

When the proposer follows these guidelines, Rotary becomes stronger with each new member.

How can our E-Club ensure that this practice is followed for the success of our E-Club?

SMILE OF THE WEEK

SPEAKER -Peter van Manen

During a Formula 1 race, a car sends hundreds of millions of data points to its garage for real-time analysis and feedback. So why not use this detailed and rigorous data system elsewhere, like ... at children’s hospitals? Peter van Manen tells us more. (Filmed at TEDxNijmegen.)   

Peter van Manen is the Managing Director of McLaren Electronics, which provides data systems to major motorsports series.


To say that Peter van Manen has a high-speed job would be an understatement. As Managing Director of McLaren Electronics, which provides electronics and data collection software to motorsports events, he and his team work in real time during a race to improve cars on about 500 different parameters. That's about 750 million data points in two hours.

But recently van Manen and his team have been wondering: Why can't the extremely precise and subtle data-collection and analysis systems used in motorsports be applied elsewhere, for the benefit of all? They have applied their systems to ICU units at Birmingham Children's Hospital with real-time analysis that allows them to proactively prevent cardiac arrests. The unit has seen a 25 percent decrease in life-threatening events. And it's just the beginning.

TO END OUR MEETING

To end our meeting, please recite aloud (on your honour!) the Rotary Four-Way Test of the things we think, say, or do.  

Ron Napier, Past District Governor from District 7570, leads us.  Please join along.





1.  Is it the TRUTH?
2.  Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3.  Will it BUILD GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4.  Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?














...and official close of meeting
