Membership Requirements
 
Every Rotarian shares the privilege and obligation of seeking qualified Rotary club members. In this way all club members can help their club achieve a full representation of the business and professional life of the community.  A full roster of dedicated members enhances fellowship and helps a club carry out its worthwhile service projects. Think about the expertise you can add to your club's overall profile.  Every new Rotarian brings a range of personal and professional resources that can greatly strengthen your club's ability to serve throughout the community and the world.
 
General qualifications:
