20 GREAT REASONS TO JOIN ROTARY

Need more reasons to join us?  Here are 20 great reasons:

  1. Friendship:In an increasingly complex world, Rotary provides one of the most basic human needs: the need for friendship and fellowship. It is one of two reasons why Rotary began in 1905.
  2. Business Development:Rotary is business development. Everyone needs to network. Rotary consists of a cross section of every business community. Its members come from all occupations. Rotarians help each other and collectively help others.
  3. Personal Growth and Development:Membership in Rotary continues one’s growth and education in human relations and personal development.
  4. Leadership Development:Rotary is an organization of leaders and successful people. Serving in Rotary positions is like a college education. Learning how to motivate, influence and lead leaders.
  5. Citizenship in the Community:Membership in a Rotary club makes one a better community citizen. The average Rotary club consists of the most active citizens of any community.
  6. Continuing Education:Each week at Rotary there is a guest speaker program designed to keep one informed about what is going on in the community, nation, and world.
  7. Rotary is fun, a lot of fun. Each meeting is fun. The club projects are fun. Social activities are fun. Serving others is fun.
  8. Public Speaking Skills:Many individuals who joined Rotary were afraid to speak in public. Rotary develops confidence and skill in public communication and the opportunity to practice and perfect these skills.
  9. Citizenship in the World:Every Rotarian wears a pin that says, “Rotary International.” There are few places on the globe that do not have a Rotary club. Every Rotarian is welcome – even encouraged – to attend any of the 35,000 clubs in over 200 nations and geographical regions. This means instant friends in both one’s own community and in the world community.
  10. Assistance when Traveling: Because there are Rotary clubs everywhere, many a Rotarian in need of a doctor, lawyer, hotel, dentist, advice, etc., while traveling has found assistance through Rotary.
