Membership - Individual

Individual new members may apply to be proposed by current Club 13 members. The procedure is:

  1. The proposer and an endorser submit to the Board of Directors the proposal and application card. This includes written permission to publish the applicant's name and professional classification to the club membership.
  2. Upon satisfactory report by the club's Membership, Classification & Qualification committee, the Board considers the application and, if approved, the prospect's name is published in the club newsletter.
  3. If no objection is received by the Board within 10 days of publication, the Rotary office notifies the applicant that he or she is approved for membership.
  4. Upon payment of fees and attendance at a membership orientation meeting, the applicant is considered elected to membership and the name is reported to the General Secretary of Rotary International.
Obligations of membership include a one-time initiation fee of $250 and a $90 contribution to the Rotary Youth Camp. The initiation fee may be postponed for those under 35 years of age. The regular annual dues are $775 and include the cost of the Thursday luncheon meetings. Dues for those under 35 are $657.50 and for Past Service (retired members) $260.00. These dues are pro-rated for new members for the months remaining in the calendar year.
