Rotary Fellowships

Most Rotarians are successful professional and business executives because they hear opportunities knock and take advantage of them. Once a week, the opportunity for Rotary fellowship occurs at each club meeting, but not all members hear it knocking. The weekly club meeting is a special privilege of Rotary membership. It provides the occasion to visit with fellow members, to meet visitors and new members, and to share your personal friendship with other members.

Rotary clubs that have a reputation for being “friendly clubs” usually follow a few simple steps. Members are encouraged to sit in a different seat or at a different table each week or to sit with a member they do not know as well as their long-time personal friends. Members are asked to invite new members or visitors to join their table and share the conversation around the table rather than merely eating in silence or talking privately to the person next to them. Rotarians also should make a special point of trying to get acquainted with all members of the club. When Rotarians follow these easy steps, an entirely new opportunity for fellowship knocks each week. Soon, Rotarians realize that warm and personal friendship is the cornerstone of every great Rotary club.

District Nomcom Candidates for RY 2022 2023

In accordance with the procedures for selecting a candidate for district governor, each year a Nominating Committee (Nomcom) will be formed and will be guided by Rotary International Bylaws. In any Rotary district adopting a Nominating Committee procedure for the selection of District Governor Nominee Designate (DGND), the nominating committee for governor shall be charged with the duty to seek out and propose the best available candidate for governor nominee designate. The terms of reference (TOR) of the committee, including the method for selecting members, shall be determined in a resolution adopted by the electors of the clubs present and voting at a district conference. Such terms of reference may not be inconsistent with the bylaws.
