We’re trying to encourage people to join Rotary. It maybe not for everybody, but it’s surely for more people than currently belong. So many people have so much to give and we need them to come and help us. But how do we tell them why they should?
This conundrum reveals the principal reason for this blog, for this entry and why I’ve been hawking myself around the local radio stations to carry the message to as many people as possible. Being in the London suburbs, we don’t have too many stations devoted to our particular area, most cover the entire metropolis, and beyond, and also have little incentive to do much for the local community – their licence doesn’t demand that they do to and it doesn’t bring in any revenue – Q.E.D.!
The exceptions in our area, and where I’ve been made to feel really welcome, are Hillingdon Hospital Radio (good for a captive audience) and Hayes FM, our local community station. Both run by dedicated volunteers they were only too happy to spend 20 minutes talking about the Rotary movement, both locally and internationally.
