BENEFITS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF CLUB MEMBERSHIP

BENEFITS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF CLUB MEMBERSHIP

               The club is the cornerstone of Rotary, where the most meaningful
work is carried out.  All Rotary clubs share a key mission to serve
their community and those in need throughout the world.  By
participating in club service projects, members learn about their
club’s involvement in local and international projects and can
volunteer their time and talents where they are most needed.

               What Rotarians get out of Rotary depends largely on what they put
into it.  Many membership requirements are designed to help members
more fully participate in and enjoy their Rotary experience.

               Attending the club meetings allows members to enjoy their club’s
membership, enrich their professional and personal knowledge and meet
other business leaders in their community..Rotary policy requires
members to attend at least 50 percent of club meetings in each half of
the year.  If members miss their own club’s meeting, they are
encouraged to expand their Rotary horizons by attending make-up
meetings at any Rotary club in the world.  Rotarians can also make up
meetings by participating in a club service project, attending a club
board meeting or attending an online meeting at one of several Rotary
e-clubs.

               To keep clubs strong, every Rotarian must share the responsibility
of bringing new people into Rotary.  Even new members can bring guests
to meetings and invite them to participate in a service project. The
value of Rotary speaks for itself, and the best way to spark the
interest of potential members is by letting them experience fellowship
and service firsthand.
