Friends of Rotary

Friends of Rotary

The primary role of the Friends of Rotary is to provide an opportunity that connects community minded people to our club.

It is intended to provide an avenue of participation to people who share our ideals and objectives, who cannot or may not wish to join the club as a Rotarian (eg. due to time and travel constraints and other commitments), but who nevertheless would like to help promote the Rotary ideals in our community and have a link to our club.

 

A Friend of Rotary would be invited to participate in the activities of the Rotary Club of Caboolture as follows:

  • Attend dinner meetings when they wished, particularly on special occasions.
  • Attend all social and official functions run by the Club.
  • Assist in fundraising and volunteer activities of the Club.

 

Guidelines:

  • A Friend of Rotary is not a member of the Rotary Club of Caboolture and is therefore not entitled to the rights or subject to the responsibilities of membership as provided for in the Constitution and Bylaws. Rather a Friend of Rotary has a formal association with the Club, which provides an avenue to participate in Club activities.

 

  • A Friend of Rotary may be accepted by the Board following a review of their application.

 

  • An accepted Friend of Rotary will be formally welcomed at a meeting of the Club and presented with a badge entitled “Friend of the Rotary Club of Caboolture”

 

  • The initial period of the friend’s association with the Club will be for the current Rotary Year, renewable as appropriate by the Board of the Rotary Club of Caboolture.

 

  • The Friend of Rotary’s Sponsor would be the link between that friend and the Club on an ongoing basis. The member would ensure that the Friend of Rotary receives details of all Club activities and is encouraged to have involvement in those activities.
