Announcement from Club Growth Director

Conclusion of +1 and + 5 campaigns

Plus One Club Building Campaign and Plus Five Membership Campaigns finished on April 30th successfully. Thank you very much for your active participations.

I was amazed by the power and enthusiasm of the most grown clubs that rose above the COVID pandemic. Another positive surprise was that the thirty smallest clubs that started the term with less than 13 members (Class 2) performed much better than the rest of the clubs (Class 1). The average membership growth rate of Class 2 was 20 percent while that of Class 1 was minus 15 percent.

In our District 152 clubs out of 223 clubs has been experiencing membership drop in this term, and 67 clubs has less than 13 members today. However, it seems small clubs are much stronger than many of us may think. We will grow back. Let’s make our clubs stronger learning from the most successful clubs by connecting each other online.

Beat The Clock

Clubs adding five new, dual or reinstated members with a join date between May 1 and June 30 receive a Beat the Clock ribbon to display on the club’s banner. Qualifying clubs also earn a special discount code for 10% off their next club order.

Announcement from Administration Manager

Receive Email Announcements from District 76

District 76 official announcements to Club Presidents and VPEs such as this “District 76 Times” are made through the mailing list, but some of these announcements seem to be irregularly or even always forwarded to the spambox in email clients.

Here I briefly introduce some tips to receive the emails from District 76 correctly. We note that for members other than club Presidents and VPEs, the tips are applicable to any other email announcement.

*This article is for your convenience. Please note that we do not provide technical support.

1. Unmark the spam

Open a spam-judged email in the spambox and make a report of “not a spam” on the email. The reported email will be automatically moved from the spambox to the inbox.

2. Receive emails from D76 correctly in future

The below methods (1) and (2) can make the emails from District 76 forwarded into the inbox correctly in future. If use a smartphone, for (2), you have to login to the Gmail through not the Gmail APP but the mobile browser and enable the Desktop view.

(1) Add the email address of D76 to your address book (easy)

Add District 76-related addresses to the address book. For example, add the District 76 Presidents/VPEs mailing address to your contact lists of Gmail (Google).

(2) Create the filter for D76 (recommended)

Open the email in the inbox (see 1. above) and set up filtering.
