The best way to experience Rotary is to come to a couple of meetings and see what a powerful experience it is both personally and professionally.  Talk to a couple of our members and learn why they made the choice to belong.  Then... talk to our membership chair.  From there... 

You will receive your copy of the ABC’s of Rotary and your orientation package.

 

In the near future you will be invited to give a “Classification talk”. This should be 7-10 minutes in length and focus on “you”, your history, family, education, vocation, how did you get to Here, etc.

 

The President will assign you to one or more of the clubs committees (unless you volunteer for one first).

You will be encouraged to attend the District Assembly, and District Conference.

 

You will be encouraged to embrace Rotary as an opportunity for service.

You will be assigned a mentor who will assist you in getting to know Rotary and your fellow Rotarians.

 

Get involved - but follow through on whatever you agree to do.

Meet other members - don’t sit in the same spot, or with the same people week after week.

Introduce yourself often - the old members are bashful and reclusive but will welcome you when you approach them.

Attend the special events - they will help you grow in your Rotary life
