How we inducted 12 Rotarians at a go (Rotary 101)

The journey towards being a Rotarian needs commitment and passion to giving back to the community. Becoming a Rotarian connects you with a diverse group of professionals who share your drive to give back. Over a meal or coffee, or even online. Last year President Elect Nana Wanjau was able to induct 12 members at a go. "How did she do it?" most people asked. Over time people have thought of Rotary as a club for people who aren't "fun". This however, is not true. The Rotary Club of Nairobi East has changed this perception. By introducing systems such as an accountability buddy to shifting communication to Whatsapp, the Rotary club of Nairobi East has been coined "The Coolest Club" by its members and speared headed by the President Elect.

Events were posted on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and the members and friends got to comment and share with friends. This initiated a move by the President Elect Nana Wanjau and the team to have a Rotary 101 class where they took interested parties to learn more about the club.
