Benefits of Membership: You get out of it what you put into it. “Service above Self” is our motto and you
will be provided with opportunities to be of service not only in our local community, but districtwide, nationally
and internationally. Fellowship and networking are also valuable benefits of Rotary Membership. We hold
two large fundraisers a year to do good things in the world and we have fun doing them. Playing a part
in the betterment of mankind is most gratifying!
Meeting attendance: We meet every Friday from 7 am – 8 pm Regular attendance is encouraged as it keeps
you apprised and involved regarding club activities. In addition, our weekly speakers are informative. If you
have to miss a meeting, you may do a ‘make-up’ on line at (https://eclubofarizona.wordpress.com/meeting-login/) there is a link on our Kingman Route 66 Rotary Club – club runner page located at
(https://portal.clubrunner.ca/1699). Also, your attendance at a board or committee meeting or participation in a
fundraising event or work project counts as a make-up. You may also make-up by attending the meetings of
other clubs anywhere in the world! A 90% to 100% attendance level is achievable! Although, not mandatory.
Involvement: Your Rotary experience will be more rewarding and productive if you are involved. We expect
you to be an active member by participating in club activities such as work projects, fundraising activities and
serving on a club committee. Your time commitment will vary depending on the nature of the activities in
which you choose to become involved.
Fellowship: Opportunities abound in rotary. Weekly club meetings, board meetings, committee meetings,
work projects, fundraising activities, social events (Family of rotary), district activities and training seminars are
just a few of the many and varied activities in which you may interact with your fellow Rotarians and in many
cases their families.
