Information for prospective Rotarians
Rotary International is one of the world’s largest service organizations, with some 29,500 clubs in more than 160 countries. Annually, Rotary clubs worldwide invite a limited number of men and women to become members. These prospective members represent various businesses and professional activities in their communities.

Rotary clubs provide:
• Friendships with other managerial and professional leaders in your community
• Prestige of membership in a worldwide organization
• Ongoing practical education
• A network of people who can help you become more successful
• Promotion of higher ethical standards in your business or profession
• Projects to enhance your community
• Help for communities in many countries

Attendance: Rotary Clubs meet every week, with the exception of national holidays that fall on the regular meeting day. Rotary considers attendance an essential part of being a member. If a member is unable to attend a club meeting there is ample opportunity to “make up” at another club. Most clubs require that a member attend at least 60% of the meetings in each six-month period and that at least half must be at the home club.

Participation: No one can be completely involved in all club activities because there are so many. Members have a wide choice of involvement including Community Service, International Service, Club Service, Vocational Assistance, Service to Youth, Fund Raising, and Special Programs. In addition, there are a few required social activities during the year.
