Over the past 2 ½ years, the Rotary District 6000 Membership Action Team/Committee has been working to identify and accomplish membership goals as part of Rotary Zone 29 Regional Rotary Roadmap. The roadmap is designed to provide districts with ideas and motivation to increase activities and success. A byproduct of this roadmap is for districts to encourage clubs to participate in a Membership Olympics Challenge among clubs. The purpose of this challenge is to work towards setting goals, achieving membership growth and development, to improve the overall health and vibrancy of Rotary Clubs, have FUN, and create friendly competition along the way.
Rotary Clubs in District 6000 are encouraged to participate in the Rotary District 6000 Membership Olympics Challenge during the 2025-2026 membership year. Rotary Club Membership Chairs or Club Presidents are requested to complete the scoresheet below and forward it to PDG Steve Wieneke at swienenked6k@gmail.com no later than July 15, 2026, for the period July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026. Results of the challenge and awards will be announced and distributed in August 2026.
