New Style Rotary clubs

In today's world there are many ways to be a Rotarian, whether it is online on the Rotary Global Hub, as a member of a Passport club or a Rotary 2 club, or simply by joining your local Rotary club.  Rotary offers you a community in which to volunteer your time and skills, meet likeminded people, and make a difference.  

Rotarians are "People of Action" 

Rotararians are ordinary people who want to make a difference.  They  care about their local communities and about global issues, and are part of a global network of 1.2 million volunteers.

Rotary Without Borders

Traditionally Rotary focuses on locally based clubs supporting their communities.   Passport clubs are now starting up throughout GB&I with members finding the projects which interest them in a much wider area.  Rotary Without Borders is a District wide initiative, a group of people, interested in joining Rotary, interested in projects supported by Rotary and intested in giving their time to the causes they beleive in.   By sharing thoughts and ideas we can create a much more flexible way of being involved with Rotary, with a membership type to suit busy lifestyles.  To join the discussion go to our Facebook group.
