Thank you for your interest in joining our Rotary
club. Increasing membership is vital to a Rotary club's
operations and community service activities. Clubs seek
individuals who have the interest and ability to get involved
in humanitarian projects.
BENEFITS OF ROTARY

such as:
- Becoming connected to your community

efforts

MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA
Rotary club membership is by invitation and club members
must hold or be retired from a professional, proprietary,
executive, or managerial position and live or work within
the locality of the club or surrounding areas.
CLASSIFICATIONS
Membership invitations are also based on the classification
principle, which helps ensure a cross-representation of
the businesses and professions within the community. A classification
describes either the principal business or professional
service of the organization that the Rotarian works for,
or the Rotarian's own activity within the organization.
Examples of classifications include higher education administration,
eye surgery, human resources, and pharmaceutical sales.
