What Rotary Membership Means (Aired on February 9 and 10, 2019)

RadioRotary interviews Suffern Rotarian Larry Palant, membership chair for
Rotary District 7210, about changes in Rotary membership opportunities and
ways to increase membership in Rotary clubs, including new types of clubs that
have been invented to make membership easier for the very busy young
professionals. Today, about half the clubs in the eight-country District 7210 meet
weekly for lunch, but increasingly as members from the spread-out hamlets and
villages of the Lower Hudson Valley have less time to travel to a meeting for
lunch, clubs are meeting for breakfast, dinner, or just for drinks. For example,
some clubs meet for lunch two or three times a month, then have a dinner
meeting that supports a local charity. The e-club, with members from around the
world (but still in the District) is a popular option, while Mr. Palant also describes
a new “passport club” concept, in which members only meet four times a year,
but can use their passports to work on projects with other Rotarians in between
meetings. Increasingly also, clubs are accepting corporate members, usually so
that several employees of a corporation can be sponsored as members of a local
Rotary Club.
