Increasing Club membership is the single most effective way to strengthen the ability of any Rotary club to serve its community and do good in the world. New members can help infuse fresh ideas, revitalize sagging energy and renew waning enthusiasm among existing members. New members also help to broaden the club's service base as well as expand the number and scope of Club projects.

Object Of Rotary

The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and in particular, to encourage and foster:

• The development of acquaintances as an opportunity for service
   
• High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society
   
• The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business and community life
   
• The advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service

Each active member shall be an adult man or woman of good character and good business or professional reputation meeting the qualifications of Article IV, Section 3, of the constitution of Rotary International. Although Rotary started as a male only club, women are now accepted into membership, although implementation of this is matter for each club to decide.

As one might expect, there is an annual membership fee. The proceeds are used to pay our fees to Rotary International and the District 7020 of which we are a member.
