Last Week Nick Martinez took over the North Bethesda Presidency with command presents. The board was sworn in by Past District Governor Claude Morrisette. There followed a discussion of the two highest priorities: new members and fund raising. Claude was very helpfull with ideas about finding and retaining new members. He mentioned a Past President who doubled the club’s membership from 20 to 40 in one year. Carla suggested we should invite outsiders to parties at Steve and Carla’s houses, and that they should be pot luck and charge an admission. Kevin said there are a lot of businesses in North Bethesda that are potential members. Dave volunteered to help Nick and Gonzo schedule Rotary speakers.
