Join Rotary

WHAT IS ROTARY?
Rotary brings together people who want to use their skills, experiences, and expertise to solve some of the world's most pressing problems — from organizing local initiatives like helping to fund new equipment at the hospital, working hazardous waste recycle day, or youth scholarships to global efforts like eradicating polio.
It all begins at the weekly club meeting, where members catch up with friends, hear what's happening in their community, and organize club activities and service projects. It's a fun way to connect with the people in your community who share your passion for doing good.
WHY SHOULD I JOIN A ROTARY CLUB?
People like you join Rotary to meet new people and get involved in their communities. As a Rotary club member, you'll also have the chance to:
- Connect with community leaders who care about issues facing Dryden and hometowns around the world
- Apply your personal experience and professional skills to solving challenges and creating positive change
- Network and develop your professional skills, including public speaking, fundraising, and project planning
- Involve your family and friends in your efforts to improve the world
