    There was once a strong young man whowas offered a job as a woodcutter. He setabout his task with energy: The first week,he turned 18 trees into firewood. The sec-ond week, he worked just as hard, but was

    surprised to find he had chopped only 11trees. The third week, despite working non-stop from morning till night, the numberwas six, and he went despairingly to theforeman to offer his resignation. "I am los-ing my strength. I can no longer cut as

    any trees as I once could."

    e foreman looked at the young man, who seemed to him ine health. "Have you thought of sharpening your ax?" he asked.

    harpen my ax? Who has time to sharpen an ax?" the youngan asked indignantly. "I have been too busy chopping wood!"

    hen we aren't making the kind of progress we feel we should

    making, the natural response is to redouble our efforts.ometimes, though, the better response is not to work harder,t to work smarter. Look at your tools. Analyze your processes.e you directing your resources in the most effective ways? Ore you pouring all your strength into chopping wood with a dull?

    r the last 20 years, we have relentlessly beaten the drum ofembership in Rotary. We set goals and launch campaigns, allcused on bringing in more and more members. And yet, ourerall numbers remain the same.

    s time to sharpen our tools. Instead of focusing on the ques-n, "How can we bring more members into Rotary?" we should

    asking ourselves, "How can we add more value to Rotary

    embership, so that more will join and fewer will leave?"

    ne way we are doing that is with the new Rotary Global Re-ards program, which launched in July. This innovative programows Rotarians to connect with, and receive discounts and con-ssions from, businesses and service providers around the

    orld. Individual Rotarians may submit their own business to becluded alongside those with which Rotary has already negoti-ed relationships; the most appropriate offers will be added toe listings. We have also created the option of allowing busi-sses to return a percentage of their profit on each transactionour Rotary Foundation, and several companies have alreadyen locked into this part of the scheme. Each month we willdate the list with additional offers that we may receive. I urge

    of you to try it out by signing up on My Rotary at Rotary.orgw. The more Rotarians participate, the stronger, and moreneficial, the program will be.

    uch more than another loyalty program, Rotary Global Re-ards is a new way to benefit from being a Rotarian, and beingrt of the Rotary network. It is another way to combine businessd service. And it is yet another way to add value to Rotary

    embership. We cannot forget that our potential members willasking themselves, "What's in it for me?" We need to demon-

    ate the value of Rotary by showing that becoming a Rotarianwill enrich their lives, as it has ours.

    Rotary and its partners have developeendgame for the final eradication of pand the plan is working successfullyone can predict the last case of wild pvirus, but if our progress is sustaine

    may come before the end of this Ryear. What a victory that will be for Rand its partners  –  and for the childrethe world!

    Rotary also has a plan to publicize gain recognition for its vital role in the eradication of poliotary started its first immunization campaign against pol1979, when there were still 500,000 cases of paralytic every year. Its success led Rotary to launch PolioPlus in 1with the goal of immunizing all the world's children againslio. It raised US$247 million for that purpose in the first tyears, and it then joined forces with the World Health Orga

    tion, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, UNICEF in 1988 to eradicate polio. When the partnershipformed, a truly epic battle was joined, and Rotary was the lyst.

    Now we are in the final days of this heroic effort, and it is imtant for Rotary that the entire world is made aware of its cbutions as a major partner in the eradication battle. Rotarternational and The Rotary Foundation will do everything can to publicize Rotary's role, but that is only one piece opuzzle. Every Rotary club needs to learn the history of thelioPlus campaign and publicize the news in their local commties. We need the active involvement of every Rotary club iworld to spread the news around the globe.

    “What are your reasons for joining, and for staying in Rotary?Most joined for the opportunity to serve and stay for the friendships. 

    I joined Rotary to be a part of our collective humanitar-ian projects, and I have stayed because of the joy on the

    faces of beneficiaries each time we solve a need.

    Chibuzo Hilary AsogwaRotary Club of Ekulu, Enugu State, Nigeria

    I had a desire to give back to my community and theworld. My father was a Rotarian, so I knew a lot about it.That was about nine years ago. I think what keeps methere is the friendships, not only with people in my localclub but with Rotarians I’ve met from around the world. 

    Elizabeth CohoeRotary Club of Cataraqui-Kingston, Ontario, Canada

    As a disabled couple who are both Rotarians, we knew

    that our fellow Rotarians would see us as people, notdisabled people, and would welcome our input into thecommunity. And so it has proved for the last 10-plusyears!

    David ShawRotary Club of Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire, England

    I joined to make a difference in my community. I’vestayed because I am.

    Heather R. KleinRotary Club of Alleghany County, North Carolina, USA

    I joined Rotary after having been involved in a post-

    tsunami project in Sri Lanka in 2005. This was the firstcontact I had had with a Rotary club, and I was so im-pressed by the dedication of its members in their effortsto help others that I immediately applied to join my clubin Stockholm when I arrived back in Sweden.

    Nicholas ThompsonRotary Club of Stockholm International, Sweden

    Making friends, travel, and self-development attractedme to Rotaract. After a successful decade in Rotaract, Igraduated to be a Rotarian. The bonding with Rotaryfamily and the way projects are executed to benefit soci-ety at large helped me ascend to be a Rotarian.

    Saket GadkariRotary Club of Thane Hills, Maharashtra, India

    I sat down and figured out how much time I was donat-ing, and how much more effective it would be as part ofa club instead of doing it all myself. I joined for the ser-vice and stay for all the friends I’ve made. It’s nice totravel and instantly have friends wherever I go.

     Aur BeckRotary Club of Carbondale Breakfast, Illinois, USA
