Rotary is a worldwide organization of approximately 1.4 million members. It is a totally independent charity and can be found more than 200 countries.
Bound by a common purpose - to serve one's community - each club is made up of like-minded people who enjoy putting something back into society.
Carshalton Park Rotary is an active club with a healthy membership approaching the mid twenties who meet on a Tuesday via ZOOM and in person at the Charles Cryer Theatre at 7.30 pm. Membership is open to all irrespective of age, gender, colour, class, or creed.
Joining takes two forms. We have Associate Membership which is available free for a year for those who wish to try us out and learn more about Rotary Great Britain & Ireland (www.rotarygbi.org) and our fantastic club, whilst being able to participate as a member.
For those who wish, full membership is also available after a short period which entitles a person to lead events and get more involved with the organization.
At Carshalton Park, we are proud to have attracted a number of talented new members from diverse backgrounds which have transformed our club. This has enabled us to take part in more events to raise much-needed money for our local charities.
We are inviting you to help with our Christmas Collections now.
Have a look at our website www.carshaltonparkrotary.org to find out more about us and the community work that we get involved in. We welcome new members all year round to bring in fresh ideas and enthusiasm.
Feel free to contact Maria Connor Membership Lead for more information on our club phone or via our website www.carshaltonparkrotary.org.uk, facebook@carshaltoparkrotary, or message us at 07514 465 607
Maria has been part of our club for 3 years and Membership Lead for 18 months, first joining as an Associate Member.
Rotary especially welcomes parents who wish to get involved. We meet via ZOOM on alternate weeks allowing the opportunity for those with caring responsibilities to join us.
We will make you feel welcome and valued. We look forward to hearing from you!
