DetailsWhy would anyone join Rotary?
The
one thing that Rotary Clubs around the world have in common is the fact that
their members get together socially and organise community activities, or those
that can, take part in hands-on projects designed to improve the lives of
others. It’s a simple way to ‘give something back’ in life.
Joining Rotary opens up opportunities to serve the local community in a myriad
of different ways. Penzance Rotary engages with other community groups,
helping to leverage their projects and events with funding and practical
support. Rotarians often choose to become involved with the community
groups that the Club supports, and members assist with the Club’s own projects
and activities whenever they are able to. Members currently pay an annual
subscription of £100 to Penzance Rotary for their membership of Rotary
International, the equivalent of just £2 per week to be part of a worldwide
movement helping those less fortunate than ourselves.
Ever considered joining?

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.

Eradication of polio worldwide.
By 1985 hundreds of thousands of children were contracting polio each 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.
In the last year, just 30 cases of wild polio have been found worldwide.
Together we can finish the job.
We meet on Fridays at 12:30 - 12.45 for 1pm start
