10 June 2008 – Call the few non-renewals to check if they are really non-renewals and ask the reasons why.
1 July 2008 – Have a Renewal Celebration Party – invite EVERYONE (including any non-renewals) – encourage EVERYONE to attend. You just may get back those non-renewals.
Note: Celebration Parties not fitting into your Squadron meeting schedule? Just make the theme of your monthly Squadron meetings, Renewal.
