THREE WAYS TO JOIN ROTARY

Are you ready to make a difference in our community? In addition to our Traditional Membership, we offer two flexible membership levels.

1. A Service Membership has fewer meeting requirements, lower membership fees, and participation in all Rotary service projects.

2. A Corporate Membership is very similar to our Traditional Membership option. The principal corporate member gets all of the benefits that are included with a traditional membership, along with the flexibility to send a designee/associate to meetings that he/she is unable to attend each month. Corporate members may also bring associates to help at Rotary service projects. We encourage all of our principal corporate members to attend at least one meeting per month.

To learn more about Andover Rotary, please contact Membership Chair G ail Ralston with any questions about these great options for busy local business leaders ready to join a great service club helping to improve our community.
