On January 18, 2018, Madison Rotary will have a "Club Assembly," at both the morning and afternoon meetings. What is a Club Assembly - It is a meeting of all members to discuss the overall operation of the club. Example include: What's working, what's not working, speakers, programs, membership development, fundraising, what should we do more or less as a Club. It is an opportunity for all members to offer input in the the overall direction and future of the club. Please made every effort to attend either the breakfast meeting at the YMCA, 7:47 am or lunch at Rod's 12:15 pm

What do most Rotarians have a hard time doing? Attending meetings? Contributing to the Foundation? Participating in a Service Project? Paying their dues? Of all of the obligations a person accepts when joining a Rotary club, the one in which MANY Rotarians fall short is "Sharing Rotary". It is estimated that less than 30 percent of the members of most Rotary clubs have ever made the effort to propose a new member. Thus, in every club, there are many Rotarians who readily accept the pleasures of being a Rotarian without ever sharing that privilege with another qualified individual. Click Read More
Please reach out and share Rotary with a prospective member. Everyone must know at least one person who should belong to Rotary.
Sponsor a New Member Contribute to our Club’s membership by bringing in qualified business and professional leaders who are interested in and committed to advancing the mission of Rotary. Together with our fellow Rotarians, you can help your club fully represent our community’s business and professional life. Proposing new members is essential to achieving Rotary’s goals of providing community and international service. As a Rotarian, one of your primary responsibilities is to help identify and propose new members.
