Membership measures
We are approaching a new Rotary year which among other things means that there will be new Rotary leaders in the clubs and in the districts. The well known saying "What gets measured gets done" is also valid for membership development in clubs and districts.
So I encourage you to define some easy to follow up measures which will drive membership development next year. For instance number of new members to be inducted, number of invited guests, attendance at the club meetings, etc.
From July 1 Matti Honkala is Rotary Coordinator for zone 15 and he has asked me to assist him with membership development. I am looking forward to working with Matti and also to the continued contacts with you.

E-club
At the COL it was decided that it is possible to start two E-clubs in a district. An E-club is for members who for different reasons cannot regularly attend club meetings which take place in a physical location.
eRotary London is one of several existing e-clubs. Go to their website and see how it works.

Inter Country Committee - ICC Russia-Scandinavia
In short ICC is a cooperation between two countries with the aim to establish twin clubs, to organize exchanges for youth, vocational exchanges, find joint projects, etc. Read more about the beginning and development of ICC in Rotary.
Vladimir Kalugin is coordinator in district 2220 for ICC Russia-Scandinavia and Christina Bredin is coordinator Scandinavia. At the ICC meeting in Moscow on June 4 we were invited to visit Murmansk in November to participate in celebrating 15 years with Murmansk RC.
To be engaged in an ICC is a good way to strengthen membership in the clubs and we hope that many clubs in Russia will be interested in finding twin clubs in Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway.

Rotary in Russia 20 years
On June 5 there will be an International seminar in Moscow to celebrate the 20 years of Rotary in Russia with participation of Carl-Wilhelm Stenhammar (RI president 2005-06) and other rotarians who were deeply involved from the start.
During the first 15 years the Russian clubs were part of two Swedish districts and one Finnish district. In 2006 a new district was opened by Carl-Wilhelm Stenhammar and the European part of Russia became district 2220.
Russia is part of my membership responsibility as RRIMC in zone 15 and it has been exciting to follow the development of the district during these three years. I will travel to Moscow to participate in the International seminar. I will report about the event in this blog next week.

Checklist - a useful tool
In professional life and in private life checklists are widely adopted to get the right things done. So why not at the Rotary club.
Membership committée chairs in clubs are busy people like everybody else in today's business world. To help them deal with the important issues regularly a good check list can become very beneficial.
Read more about this matter in the article by PDG Alana Bergh in the Membership newsletter for zones 24,25,26&32. You will find examples of useful checklists there.
