Expectations of Membership

For Prospective Members
 
Sanford-Springvale Rotary Club Member Expectations
 
FINANCIAL
$50 per quarter ($200 per year) covers Rotary International and District 7780 dues, and our club’s dues. Other costs may include weekly Happy Dollars, support of club fundraisers and other special club events. 

It is strongly encouraged, but not required, that members participate in “Every Rotarian, Every Year” by donating some amount per year to the Rotary Foundation.

ATTENDANCE
It is expected that members will attend or make-up for 50% of the Club’s meetings, which means 25 meetings, since the Club averages about 50 meetings per year. Make-up credit is given for participation in Club Service Projects, attending meetings of the Club Board of Directors, and attendance or participation in District activities, as well as make-ups at other Clubs. In addition, a member can make-up by participating in an online session on the Rotary International website.

  1. work a 5-hour shift at the Acton Fair in late August selling chicken livers;
