Last Thursday five of our club members joined 175 other people at the Flicks to watch the move "Join or Die", after a social hour. It was great! It was based on Robert Putnam's 2001 book "Bowling Alone, The Collapse and Revival of American Community" which explored the resaons that "social groups" have been declining in membership for decades and how to fix it. The title comes from a "discovery" that people still bowl, they just don't join clubs. This was a great recruiting event for our District Rotary Clubs, too. They said about half of the attendees were not Rotarians. Many thanks to our Mary Reiman for "discovering" this film and suggesting that we all see it.
