Alternative ways to join Rotary

Lytham Rotary have recently gained two Corporate Members  - The Clifton Arms Hotel, Lytham, where the Club meets and On Call Doctors which is a private GP service and health centre based on the Fylde coast.   

Mark Wells, General Manager at the Clifton Arms Hotel has seen the benefit to the hotel and Rotary Club.  The hotel is always eager to become involved since joining, supporting social and fundraising events held at their venue.  He is keen to involve the hotel through Rotary with Community Activities.

Dr Asif Sange, Principal GP at On Call Doctors is one of the main sponsors at their annual golf day at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club as well as providing support with raffle prizes.  

On why he decided to become a Corporate Member Dr Asif Sange said  “On Call Doctors are proud to be associated with Rotary Lytham.  Our values of compassion, integrity and faith mean that  as we grow we will help the wider community prosper where we can.  It is an honour for us to be a Rotary Corporate Member”.

Ray Thomas, Membership Lead for Lytham Rotary said “I think that Corporate Members can be a valuable asset to any Club, becoming involved with the community in the local area, and also in the broader sense of Rotary International.”

Accrington Rotary are also looking at different ways to encourage businesses, organisations and community groups to join them in making Accrington a great place to visit, work and live.  An Impact Group enables them to engage with these different groups in their community and focus mainly on local projects. They are well aware that not everyone wants to, or has the time to, join them for a meal and chat but people are interested in what the club are doing and if or how they can help.

They have hosted an Impact meeting where it was great to welcome a mixture of businesses and local superstore charity champions.  All attendees were interested in what the club are currently doing both locally and internationally and liked the idea of meeting to plan and execute projects.  A couple of suggestions for a first project will be progressed at their next meeting. 

From a Rotary perspective the Impact Group will sit as a project group within Accrington Rotary with a current member acting as the link between the two. 

Contact the District Membership Lead or your local Rotary Club for details of alternative ways to be involved with Rotary.
