The Rotary Club of Whanganui Daybreak meets 7 am on a Monday, twice a month.

Membership has been pretty static for some time and late last year the club began looking around for new opportunities to grow their membership.  The club members agreed that working people with families are the community members they want to see involved  in Rotary and who aren’t well represented in the town’s other two Rotary clubs, both of which meet weekly – one at lunchtime and the other in the evening.  Having made that decision, the club looked hard at their culture, venue, meeting structure etc; what changes could be made to be more attractive and to make Rotary membership easier for their ‘target market’? 

Then, a new café opened not far from the old venue

 Sometimes the kids even make a presentation to the meeting
