INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE ROTARIANS

Rotary is a global network of 1.4 million neighbors, friends, leaders and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves. 

ROTARY PROVIDES:

  • Friendships with other managerial and professional leaders in your community
  • Prestige of membership in a worldwide organization
  • Ongoing practical education
  • A network of people who can help you become more successful
  • Promotion of higher ethical standards in your business or profession
  • Projects to enhance your community
  • Help for communities in many countries

Attendance

Rotary Clubs meet every week, with the exception of national holidays that fall on the regular meeting day. Rotary considers attendance an essential part of being a member. If a member is unable to attend a club meeting, there is ample opportunity to “make-up” at another club. Most clubs require that a member attend at least 60% of the meetings in each six-month period and that at least one-half of that attendance must be at the home club.
​
The Rotary Club of Santa Cruz  meets on Fridays at  12:10 p.m. at the Santa Cruz Elks Lodge (150 Jewel Street). Click here for the schedule and information on upcoming programs.

Participation

No one can be completely involved in all club activities because there are so many. Members have a wide choice of involvement, including Community Service, International Service, Club Service, Vocational Assistance, Service to Youth, Fundraising and Special Programs. In addition, clubs may hold a few required social activities during the year.

Community Service

Our local community service projects include weekly Cowell Beach cleanup efforts and support for the The Santa Cruz County Veterans Memorial Building.
