When I joined Rotary, I found a warm and welcoming group of people that made it easy to make friends. The club gave me a chance to give something special back to the community from Ronald McDonald House to the Schools programs. The experiences have enriched my life with people who care about others and a sense of belonging to a worldwide club.

Being a Rotarian means being involved in a worthwhile community and international projects while meeting some truly great people who become your lifelong friends. It’s a wonderful feeling and so much fun being a member of a Rotary Club.

I joined Rotary in 2017 as I am planning for my retirement. I was interested in belonging to a club that helps local and overseas communities. Personally, it has allowed me to reconnect socially, regain my self-confidence as well as develop new friendships.

When I worked in the health field, I felt that I could make a difference to the lives of others. After an early retirement I still believed I had the ability and need to help others less fortunate, so I joined Rotary. I should have done it years earlier.

Rotary has provided camaraderie with others, a purpose in life and a sense of fulfilment in making a difference in the lives of others. I have found Rotary has assisted in my wellbeing through its positivity and passion to serve. Being a member of Rotary has been a very good fit for my ongoing life journey.
