Rotary Friends

Keen on volunteering, but don’t yet want the full commitment of Rotary membership ? You could become a Rotary Friend. This way you get to volunteer on worthwhile projects and attend events to fit in with your busy life, or to try out what it’s like to be a Rotarian.

Advantages of becoming a Rotary Friend

You can attend any of our meetings, volunteering projects or events.

Here is a sample of volunteer roles you might like to take on as a Rotary Friend in our club:

  • join our medical mission team to an island of the Philippines and help to restore sight and hearing to people who could never afford such medial care;
  • help to run a program or event for kids with a disability;
  • help at a FORaMEAL emergency food packaging event;
  • help to load vital medical equipment into shipping containers to send to developing countries;
  • host a youth exchange student from another country for three months in your home;
  • participate in a gardening project to help people in need;
  • cook meals for youth programs at Rotary’s Camp Getaway;
  • participate in a project that you instigate from an identified need in our community.
