| How Can You Participate? |
-
Learn More About Rotary - Whether you are a current
member or someone who is considering a service club as a way to "get involved,"
it's important that you learn more about what Rotary does around the world. A visit to the
Press Center at Rotary
International, or a complete tour of the Smoky Hill
Rotary Club website, will provide you much more information on the
significant impact your local Rotary club has on your community and your world.
Membership - Rotary is unique with regard to
membership. You must be "invited" to join and a Rotarian must sponsor your
membership. There is a high probability you already know a Rotarian. He or she is likely
the owner of a business you frequent, a friend heavily involved in the community, or a
professional you know, such as a dentist, lawyer, realtor or financial consultant. Your
vocation is important to Rotary and it should be represented in a club near where you work
or live.
Visit A Meeting - If you are a person with high ethical
standards, a desire to make a difference in the world through service to others, and have
discretionary authority so you can make the weekly commitment, you should locate the
meeting place of a Rotary club near where you work or live and visit a meeting. You can
locate a club near you by going to the
Rotary
International website.
Fundraising Support - Each Rotary club has it's own
fundraising methods. These clubs need your support in donations of time, resources, and
money. You may not be able to make the weekly commitment as a member of Rotary, but still
want to help your community. Becoming a Rotary supporter offers you that opportunity.
Contact a Rotarian to see how you can help.
Identify Needs - The Rotary club in your community is
always searching for ways to make a difference in the lives of people. If you know of
specific needs, financial or others, contact a member of the Rotary club in your area and
let them know about the need. Each club has Community Service and International Service
committees that reviews all requests.
