Club Service is the foundation of each Rotary club in which each member takes an active part in making the club function, such as serving on committees, proposing individuals for membership, and meeting attendance requirements..  Overall it fosters the successful administration of the organization.  On an individual basis it requires that every Rotarian actively support the activities of his/her club and becomes involved in providing Service above Self.

 

Some Club Service activities and programs are:

 

l     Club Assembly – On an “as needed” basis, assemblies are conducted to focus on club activities and programs.  The club reviews upcoming projects to solicit more involvement from members.

 

l     Club Bulletin – Weekly newsletter are published to capture the content of each week’s meeting.  The newsletter is also a forum to education members and non-members on “What is Rotary”.
