The Many Benefits Of Rotary Membership


A new “Top 20” lists of reasons people join Rotary has been circulating recently. Here are a few highlights:


#3 Friendship

Rotary was founded on fellowship, an ideal that remains a major attraction today. Club meetings, social gatherings, and projects offer meaningful opportunities to develop enduring relationships.


#11 Youth and Family

Rotary sponsors one of the world’s largest youth exchange, educational exchange, and scholarship programs. Rotary clubs provide innovative training opportunities and mentoring for young leaders and involve family members in a wide range of social and service activities.


#1 Service Opportunities

Through service programs organized both locally and internationally, addressing such concerns as health care, hunger, poverty, illiteracy, and the environment, Rotarians experience the fulfillment that comes from doing good and making life better for others.


#7 Entertainment

Social activities give Rotarians a chance to let loose and have fun. Every Rotary club and district hosts parties and social activities that offer diversions from today’s demanding professional and personal schedules.


Naturally, every engaged Rotarian has her or his own “Top 20” that fits personal needs and expectations. For your list, how has it changed over time? And how do you reference it when talking with a prospective member? It could be your best recruiting tool!
