- Challenge each club to increase membership by 2 with gender parity
- Identify classifications on website for each member
- Increase humanitarian service:
- Each member to give $100/yr to the foundation and $100/yr to the Polio Plus campaign. Gates Foundation committed to match dollar $2 for every $1 raised
