Hasn’t that organization been in decline for years?
Ever since they went co-ed. I was in Rotary decades ago, but then I had to close my business and get a real job.
Rotary is very active in my small town. My next door neighbor is an officer and I know they do a lot of good work. This however I know is not going to sit well with the local club. This is a rural area with a lot of hunting and target shooting and very high gun ownership rates. Was just down to the local street fair and in addition to a couple of gun centric booths one of the local churches was raffling off an AR15. The local car dealer had a promotion where you got a gun with a new car a couple of years back and it is not unusual to see people open carry. I myself bought a ticket at a gun raffle the local Mason Lodge had. It will be interesting to see how this pans out locally. As for membership declines I think like other fraternals they have been having them but a lot of factors play in to thatincluding relatively high dues for a comparatively poor area.
