On July 20, 2022, we lost the first lady of the Rotary Club of Jacksonville, Michele Agee. I met Michele in 2017 at the Bike Ride to End Polio when she took off like a Zoomie and left me in the dust! Our hearts go out to President Jim and the entire Agee family.

August is Membership and New Club Development Month. Is your club welcoming when a new member joins or a prospect comes in the door? What is your club doing to make members feel engaged?
