There is no evidence that reducing the attendance requirements will improve our membership. Indeed, those service clubs which have more lenient rules are suffering more than Rotary. To quote a fellow Rotarian, these rules seem to be more about making it easier for poor Rotarians to remain members that attracting new members.

The problem, I suspect, lies more in the nature of our organisation in today's changed world than in the rule book.
