ri president my dear brothers and sisters in rotary we have a color for the 2011-12 rotary year and that color is green why green because green is the color of spring of new life of bright leaves bursting forth from spreading branches and there is no doubt that it is time to green rotary to lift our deepening pallor of gray and replace it with brighter shades of green overall in rotary only 11 percent of our members are under the age of 40 while 68 percent are over 50 ri president and 39 percent are over 60 it s not too hard to see kalyan banerjee where this will lead us in 10 20 and 30 years down rotary year 2011-2012 the line if we don t do something about it now it is not enough to simply bring in new members we need to bring in younger members who will breathe new life and new vigor into our organization how can we be more attractive to younger members who are so different in so many ways from the young professionals of a generation or two ago we have to come to them where they are and for most young people where they are is on the internet on facebook on twitter and e-mail and on their smartphones a club that doesn t have a presence on the internet simply doesn t exist as far as they are concerned a club s website is its public face and it has to be a good one more than anything i believe we need to bring back the idea of the family of rotary we need to look at all of rotary as one family rotarians their families and also rotaractors interactors youth exchange students and alumni foundation alumni and so on and we need to consider retention as an idea that applies not just to rotarians but to the entire family of rotary too often we look outward to find new members and we do not see our own young generation waiting to be called upon we must look to them to find the capable and enthusiastic new members who will be the club presidents the district governors and the ri senior leaders of tomorrow we owe it to our rotary family past present and future to make sure that our generation of rotarians is not the last we must in a very real sense reach within to embrace our rotary family so that we can better embrace all of humanity 6 reach within to embrace humanity kalyan banerjee president rotary international
