Thank you
for your interest in becoming a Rotarian. Rotary
International is an association of individual clubs,
with each club operating autonomously. Membership is extremely
important to us, and we are always eager to hear from
individuals interested in our mission and in joining a Rotary
club. The RI universal premise is that the membership of each
club constitutes an accurate representation of the business
and professional population within the community served.
Membership
in a Rotary club requires available business or professional
classification opportunities as well as an invitation and
sponsorship by a member of the club. Sometimes an individual
cannot be invited or sponsored for membership.
Rotarians
are business and professional leaders who take an active role
in their communities while greatly enriching their personal
and professional lives. A Rotary club contains a diverse group
of professional leaders from the community that the club
serves.
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
Through
Rotary International's service programs, a Rotary club can
have a significant effect on the quality of life in its
community. Rotary Foundation programs offer
opportunities to form international partnerships that help
people in need worldwide. Some 1.2 million Rotarians in
30,000 clubs in more than 160 countries make significant
contributions to the quality of life at home and around the
globe.

The annual Pancake Day sponsored by the
Rotary Club of South Boston and the Tuesday Women's Club will
be

Armory on Hamilton Boulevard in South Boston.
The proceeds from the event will be used to fund the
scholarships the Rotary Club gives to two Halifax County High
School students for tuition assistance.
Please come and join us for a day of good food and fellowship
for a worthy cause! |
