The Numbers Behind Our Fellowship
A fun walk through the numbers behind Kampala North
Every Rotary club has a register of members. But hidden inside that register is something far more interesting than names and dates. There is history. There is loyalty. There is leadership. There is fellowship. And, if you look closely enough, there is even a little bit of fun.
For the Rotary Club of Kampala North, our member data reads like a quiet celebration of who we are. It tells of members who have served for nearly four decades, leaders who have carried the club and the district, women who have worn the presidential chain, new members bringing fresh energy, birthday patterns that surprise us, and even surname initials that seem to have formed their own teams.
It is a story about the people behind the numbers — the Rotarians who have built, led, refreshed and sustained Kampala North over the years.
A Club With Deep Roots
Kampala North has 91 members. Together they carry about 1,508 combined years of Rotary service. On average, each member has served Rotary for 16.6 years.
60 of the club’s 91 members have served in Rotary for at least 10 years.
That continuity provides a strong foundation for fellowship, mentorship and service. It also gives the club a deep well of memory and experience to draw from every Rotary year.
The club was chartered in August 1988, and several members from the earliest chapter remain active today.

Five Decades of Fellowship
Current members joined Kampala North across five decades.
The largest intake came during the 2010s, when 37 current members began their Rotary journey.
The figures tell the story of a club that continues to attract new members while retaining a strong core of long-serving Rotarians.
From the 1980s to the 2020s, every decade has contributed to the Kampala North story.
June Loves Kampala North
When admissions are grouped by month, June leads with 23 member admissions.
December follows with 16 admissions, while November accounts for 12.
More current members joined Kampala North in June than in any other month.
Born on Which Day?
Grouping birthdays by day of the week reveals an unexpected pattern.
Sunday leads with 16 members, followed by Friday with 15 and Thursday with 14.
Team K Takes the Lead
The most common surname initial in the club is K, with 19 members.
It is followed by M, S, B and N.
If surname initials formed teams, Team K would comfortably take the trophy.
May and June Take the Cake
The birthday calendar reveals another cheerful pattern.
Both May and June account for 10 member birthdays each, making them the busiest celebration months in the club calendar.
August and September follow closely behind with nine birthdays each.
The middle of the Rotary year is also the busiest season for birthday celebrations.
The Real Fun Fact
The figures tell an impressive story:
- 91 members
- 1,508 combined years of Rotary service
- 60 members with at least 10 years in Rotary
- 31 members with at least 20 years in Rotary
- 13 members with at least 30 years in Rotary
- 29 Past Presidents
- 7 Female Past Presidents
- 4 Past District Governors
Yet the most important fact cannot be measured in a spreadsheet.
Behind every statistic is a Rotarian who chose to serve, to lead, to mentor, to support a project, to attend a fellowship, to welcome a new member, or to lend a helping hand when it mattered.
The numbers tell us that Kampala North is a club rich in experience, leadership and continuity. But they also remind us that the true strength of the club lies not in the figures themselves, but in the people they represent.
It is measured by the years of service they carry, the friendships they sustain, the leaders they produce, and the communities they continue to serve.
