New members are proposed by an existing member. However, if you have an interesting in joining the local Rotary Club, but don’t know a member, please send an email to our membership chair, Bruce Lewis: blewis@mcn.org.
Here’s how the new member process works:
1. We identify someone who could be a prospective member
2. We invite prospective member to Lunch #1 (Rotary Member pays)
3. We invite prospective member, interested, back to Lunch #2 (Club pays)
4. After lunch, we ask if a prospective member would be interested in an Invitation to join. If “yes”, we gather the information and ask for an Application to be filled out.
Note: various Rotary booklets are handed to prospective members so they know something about Rotary.
5. Give information to membership chair, who will prepare to get board approval after third lunch.
6. Invite prospective member back for Lunch #3 (Club Pays)
7. Ask prospective member to sign if interested and permit publication to club.
Enjoy lunch, allow interest & name to be published, and take away card.
8. Attend orientation breakfast: new member attends breakfast with spouse/partner with his/her sponsor and club officer.
9. Club president extends formal invitation.
10. Sponsor assists President and Membership Chair in Induction.
