The BENEFITS and COSTS of MEMBERSHIP
Membership in a Rotary club offers a number of benefits, including:
· Effecting change within the community
· Advancing business and professional contacts
· Developing leadership skills
· Gaining an understanding of, and having an impact on, international humanitarian issues
(Your personal goal must be to attain all four of these ends: our impact is felt as we effect change, lead, and gain understanding WHILE we advance our business contacts.)
To be a Rotarian, you must give your time, talents, and financial support to the following:
· Community work, here, and abroad if you choose
· Social functions
· Club and District activities
We want you to be apprised of the costs of membership upfront. Here's what a typical Golden Rotarian spends over the course of a year for membership:
