  • Be proposed for membership in writing by a club member;
  • Apply for membership and give permission for name and classification to be published to the club;
  • Be accepted by the membership;
  • Pay admission fee and dues;
  • Be inducted at a subsequent meeting;
  • Participate in any new member orientation;
  • Get involved in serving.
What will it cost me?

What will be expected of me?
  • Attendance at most club meetings or a make-up at another Rotary Club meeting somewhere else in the world within 13 days before to 13 days after the club meeting missed (Because it is impossible to support, assist, and be involved unless you are present, less than 60% attendance or 4 consecutive meetings missed without a make-up are cause for membership termination)
  • Active participation on club committees and projects
  • Support of club fellowship activities
  • Support in delivering and arranging program talks in your area of expertise for the interest and enlightenment of your fellow members
  • Continued vigilance to assure that you represent the highest ethical and professional standards in your business or profession in accordance with Rotary motto:
