One thing that Rotary Clubs all around the world have in common is members (known as Rotarians), who enjoy getting together socially to orgainise activities for the benefit of their communities. Those who can, take part in 'hands on' projects, others focus on fundraising, and many provide the expertise or organisational support that makes it all happen.  Rotary provides everyone with ways to ‘give something back’ to the community. Joining Rotary not only opens up opportunities to serve in a myriad of different ways, but it also helps us to broaden our experiences and develop new skills no matter what our age.  

'PENZANCE ROTARY with Mounts Bay' engages with, and supports, other community groups in the area, helping to leverage their projects or events by providing funding, manpower or practical support. 

Some Rotarians may choose to become involved in the community groups that the Club supports, and others may simply assist with the Club’s own projects and activities whenever they can. 

Members currently pay an annual subscription equating to around £2 / week, which covers local membership and membership of Rotary International - a worldwide movement promoting peace, fighting disease and helping those less fortunate than most.

Like minded people, meeting up socially and devising ways to improve the lives of others. Pooling knowledge, contacts and skills to help people up and to help the community along.

Making a difference. 

We use our collective knowledge of local issues to identify areas of need, then apply our expertise and our diverse perspectives to find solutions. Rotary members are very likely working in your community right now to provide funds to feed the hungry, assist disadvantaged children and the elderly, maintain parks, playgrounds, develop students life chances, and much more. This is where you come in!   

With every new member comes either knowledge, skills, experience, contacts or all of the aforementioned, and all of which can be put to good use as we look for new ways to serve our community. 

Could you be a Rotarian?  

Very probably Yes. Email:  PenzanceRotary@gmail.com and arrange to meet up for a coffee or come along for a chat with the group over a complimentary lunch.

By 1985 hundreds of thousands of children were contracting polio every year, with around 1,000 children becoming paralysed every day.  Rotary launched PolioPlus, a multi-million dollar initiative to immunise all the world's children against polio. Rotary Clubs around the world have made it a priority to work towards the eradication of polio.  Since 1986, more than two billion children have received the oral polio vaccine and endemic polio has almost been eliminated across the planet. 

Together we can finish the job.
