Have you visited Rotary.org recently? There are some fantastic resources available. Check out some reason why Starting a Rotary club might be just the thing to do!
Starting new Rotary clubs increases our ability to improve lives in communities around the world. A new club adviser works
with district leaders to develop and support the new club during the process. Other Rotary clubs and members can help the new club succeed by serving as sponsors or mentors.
 
Find information about the process in Starting a Rotary Club (PDF).
 
 
 
Reasons to start a club
Both Rotary club members and nonmembers can start clubs. Here are some reasons you might want to.
You're a Rotary club member, and:
·       An area in your district doesn't have its own club.
·       Your Rotary club can no longer accommodate new members.
·       Some members need an alternate meeting time.
·       Some members prefer to meet online, less frequently, or using a different format (explore club meeting options).
You're not a club member, and:
·       Your area doesn't have a club.
·       The club in your area doesn't fit your needs.
·       You want to get involved with your community in a new way.
