APPRAISING A PROSPECTIVE MEMBER
Should the choice of new Rotarian be made because of his/her professional standing? His/her social status? His/her wealth? These criteria are of little importance, for your selection must be, above all, composed of people of good will. The "top person' may glorify Rotary, but the 'right person' serves Rotary.
The answers to the following questions will help you determine if this person is right for Rotary Club of Tulsa Sunrise.
1. Is this person's character and reputation above reproach?
2. Is the reputation of this person's form or company exemplary?
3. Is this person 'service-minded'?
4. Is this person able to meet the financial obligations of membership?
5. Is this person able to attend the weekly meetings regularly?
If you can answer all five of these questions in the affirmative, please complete this application. If not, there is no need to proceed any further.
