Service
There are three primary opportunities for service:
1. Join a Committee or event organizing team. We have several committees that need ACTIVE members: community, international, youth, membership, foundation, communication, and marketing to name the most obvious. We are always looking for people to step into a Board position and we will have several openings for 2026-27. As for events, Holiday House Tour is the most obvious, but we also have Canada Day, Paul Harris, Sunset Cocktail Party, Golf Day, and we tried a Fashion Show last fall.
2. Participate in the many opportunities that come up during the course of the year, such as Ride for Polio, Polo, Adopt-a-Road, breakfast program, support an exchange student, volunteering at the Holiday House Tour, Canada Day or other events.
3. Donate – especially to the Foundation. As we have repeatedly said, if you have the financial wherewithal to give to a charity, Rotary is one of the best charities you could choose.
The primary opportunity for fellowship is at our Tuesday meetings. We have great speakers, good food (we are looking at ways to make it better), and great company. It is also the best way to stay up-to-date with what is happening in the Club, and to ask questions or share information – especially at monthly Club Assemblies. There is also a broader opportunity for fellowship by becoming involved at the District level or in activities at other Clubs within our District. There are plenty of other opportunities for fellowship, but let’s look at those under our headings of Service and Fun.
If you aren’t already having fun being involved through the above categories of Fellowship and Service (and you WILL have fun), then this one is really easy – all you have to do is SHOW UP. Sometimes, there is a cost to events, but we try to keep it reasonable, and usually a bargain relative to what you would have to pay for similar events. So, when we announce an upcoming event, make it a priority and mark it on your calendar. After all, it will be time well spent with friends.
Final Word
We want all of our current members to renew. BUT only do so if you are prepared to make the commitment to be an active Rotarian. As above, there are many different ways to show that commitment. While we love to see our members at Tuesday lunch, that is only one way and it is certainly not the only way. If you don’t think you can make any kind of commitment, please talk to any of us – and let’s try to find a way to make your membership meaningful. For our new members, let’s work together to help you become more involved. I think we can all be a little tentative at first, but it certainly should not stay that way. When you open the door into Rotary, there is a whole world of opportunities to explore. Please pay your money in June and please find a way to show commitment during the 12 months that follow.
