Christiana Rotary has instituted the Mentoring Program to help new Rotarians assimilate into our Club and all of our Club’s activities. A new Rotarian is in this program for a period of one year, during which time they will receive encouragement, assistance, and information about all aspects of Christiana Rotary and Rotary International.  As a mentor, we hope you will set a good example by staying in touch with your new member, and gain their commitment to Rotary for a long, long time. 

 

New Member:

___Review the Red Badge Program and monitor accomplishments

 

___Set up a breakfast or lunch meeting to talk specifically about Rotary (one-on-one relating is VERY important).

 

___Make contact when meetings are missed. (By showing concern, you’ll encourage good attendance and know when difficulties arise).

 

___Socialize at meetings and encourage table rotating. (They will feel more in touch with several members).

 

___Introduce them to guests and visiting Rotarians. (Show how you greet visitors and make them feel welcome).

 

___Make sure they are receiving and reading The Voice of Service. (The newsletter is a great source for information).

 

___Familiarize them with the directory of clubs around the world. (Talk about the value of visiting Clubs in other cities, states and countries).

 

___Work together on a project. (Service involvement is the cornerstone to our organization).

 

___Assist in choosing a committee for them to join.

 

___Have them sign up for club parties and social events. (Involving spouses and significant others will provide opportunities for spouses to make friendships also).
