Information for Prospective Rotarians

The basic tenant of Rotary is the "4 Way Test" (as shown below) and the expectation to place "Service Above Self". To determine if Rotary is for you, and you are for Rotary, you will need to understand what Rotary is, what will be expected of you, and what the club provides. Below you will find information on each of these subjects. After reviewing our Membership Information, you feel that serving your community, region, and world through Rotary is of interest, send email to our membership coordinator at membership.
