Interested individuals are invited to attend an exploratory meeting as our guest. If wishing to pursue membership, attend two consecutive meetings and submit a membership application to be eligible for membership consideration.Anyone interested in membership who does not know any local Rotarians should start by reviewing the Rotary International website at l https://www.rotary.org/en to learn about Rotary and search for a local club at https://www.rotary.org/en/search/club-finder. Contact the local club and a member of the Club will contact you.Two levels of membership are offered, Individual and Corporate Membership. The requirements, privileges and responsibilities are the same for both levels. However, Corporate Membership permits the business or organization to designate up to four members so that attendance can be rotated when the Primary Contact Member is unable to attend.Responsibilities & Expectations of Members
