Membership payments

37 of the 86 districts lost membership this year.

D59 (continental Europe) added the most membership payments, adding 1,741 over their base, about 870 members, almost 15% growth.  D41 (India except Karala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka) wasn’t far behind, adding 1,550 over base (28%).

D41 added the most membership payments as a percentage, at 28% growth, simply amazing!  D79 (Saudi Arabia) was next at 21%, and D76 (Japan) at 16%.

Clubs

19 districts had a net loss in clubs this year.

D79 has the largest net club growth, adding 48 net clubs, followed by D85 (China) at 39 net clubs added, and D41 at 34 net clubs added.  These clubs earn the President’s Extension award at the Hall of Fame ceremony in August in Orlando.

D79 also had the largest club growth as a percentage, 42%!  D41 grew clubs by 36%, and D85 grew clubs by 21%.  These are districts that will likely be splitting soon (or just did this month).

More analysis of how districts would have fared under the new district recognition program will be following soon.
