Best Practice District 7890 public relations program, "We are the message." <br> The program focuses on individual and club level efforts to generate our own media, brand ourselves as Rotarians, increase membership development, and enhance Rotary awareness, perception, and response. This program can be a public relations program at a district conference.

Best Practice During my year as club president, I used Member Access on the RI Web site to get a list of all the members who had left our club. I contacted them to ask if they were interested in returning to the club and to find out why they left.

Best Practice Copying from other Districts, we changed the District Assembly from a 1/2 day Monday morning to a 3 PM to 8:30 PM Wednesday including dinner. What happened that was special was a 90 minute section from 4 PM until 5:30 PM where we had breakout sessions for the following: Membership development Public Relations and Websites Presidents-elect Vocational Service Youth Community Service International Service Rotary Foundation Our District Foundation. Through publicity, which started at the first Pre-PETS meeting in January, weekly e-mails, hard copy letters and support from the assistant governors, attendance was 210 people - double the previous year representing all but two district clubs. Over 50 Rotarians were involved in planning, leading the discussion groups, publicizing and executing the event.
ResourcesMaterials were prepared by the district, but the best materials were brought to the event by the various committees.
