RB Sunrise Rotary Gets New Membership Chair

RB Sunrise Rotary Gets New Membership Chair

The Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary Club has promoted Debbie Abel to Membership Chair, effective immediately. She replaces Paul Sullivan, who is largely credited for growing the club’s membership by roughly 30% over the past two years.

“Paul’s left big shoes to fill” says Ms. Abel.

A Poway-based audiologist, Debbie will be the first main point of contact for prospective Rotarians. “My job is simple, since the people in the room really sell the Rotary concept. All I have to do is get the right paperwork into the right hands, and help get new members settled into place.”

Ms. Abel has two electronic tools to help her that Mr. Sullivan never had. “We have one of our newest members keeping a blog of the whole experience of coming into Rotary” she says. It can be found at www.redbadgerotarian.blogspot.com.

The other is a blog of an established Rotarian who’s tracing a year in the organization. That one – entitled THE ADVENTURES OF ROB THE ROTARIAN can be found at http://rbsunrise.blogspot.com/.

“Potential new members are invited to join us for breakfast any Tuesday morning at the RB Country Club” Ms. Abel says. “We’ll be happy to buy them breakfast, and hope they’ll get to know us better.” The club meets at 7am, with meetings over by 8:30.
