Joining Rotary....
The Club is looking to welcome new qualified members. If you live or work in Westport/Weston or surrounding area towns and have a desire to give back to the community and enjoy fellowship with others who share those same goals, we invite you to consider membership.
As a first step, you can examine information about our Club, our Rotary District and Rotary International to find out what Rotary is all about and what we do at Westport Sunrise. You can download the club's Member Brochure and also find much useful information for prospective members from Rotary International including brochures and videos .
The Membership Process....
Prospective member should be sponsored by a current member of the club. Although, at times this may not be your initial means of introduction to the club. A sponsor can be selected or assigned later.
A prospect is invited to experience the club for at least 3 weeks. Meeting our members and seeing what we do is very important.
Any time during the experience period you are invited to submit your application for membership. It is recommended that you submit your application as soon as possible to avoid delays in the approval process and subsequent induction.
After the 3 meeting requirement is met the application is reviewed for approval by the membership committee. Occupational classification is considered, along with general merits.
Once approved the board of directors votes. Upon their approval, the candidate's name is entered into the newsletter for a week for general membership approval. After 1 week, if there have been no problems, the membership is approved and an induction date is set.
(The process from start to finish including the 3 weeks of meeting attendance is about 5 weeks.
Prospects are encouraged to attend, free of charge, during the entire process)
Contact Us....
If you would like to pursue membership but do not know of a club member who might be your sponsor, drop in on a 7:30 to 9:00am Friday morning meeting at Bobby Q's, 42 Main Street, Westport, CT and introduce yourself.
