When the first Rotary Club was formed in 1905, it was designed
to be an organization of business professionals with differing
vocational experience. It enabled a relationship within
its members that would commonly be called "networking" in
today's world.In keeping
with some of the original goals of that new organization,
membership in Rotary clubs today is by invitation and is only
open to business professionals. The number of members in
any given profession is significantly restricted to enable a
diversity of skills.
If you are a business
professional and have an interest in becoming a member of what
has been described as being the greatest philanthropic
organization in the history of mankind, contact a
member of our club about attending one
of our weekly meetings.
We are sincerely interested in
recruiting new members who have an interest in improving our
local and global community. Some of our expectations of
members include:
- Adherence to the
Rotary Four-Way Test
- Regular attendance at our
weekly meetings, or at other Rotary clubs when unavailable
to be at our local club
- Participation in our
service activities
- Serving on one or more
committees
- Attendance at social
functions
- Selling tickets to our
fundraising activities
- Contribution to or
solicitation of merchandise from others for our annual
auction
- Payment of club dues and
other financial obligations in a timely fashion
Your greatest reward from being
a member of a Rotary club is the knowledge that you have made a
difference by improving our world. You will have the added
benefit of meeting some other exceptional individuals who are
also dedicated to serving the community. Rotary membership
will expand your circle of friends and business associates.
