Impact starts with our members — people like you who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
At club meetings in communities across the globe, our people of action come together to strengthen their connections to friends and neighbors and their commitment to improving lives.
Who can join?
We’re looking for people who want to give back to their communities. You know these people. They are your friends, family, associates, employees, clients, vendors and so on.
We challenge you to bring a former or prospective member to one of our upcoming events. We have a collection of incredible speakers that will resonate with many. Use that as your pull.
Rotary clubs also welcome Rotaractors, Rotary Peace Fellows, and other members of the family of Rotary who qualify for membership.
What are the benefits? Here are some talking points:
Becoming a Rotary member connects you with a diverse group of professionals who share your drive to give back. Through regular meetings and events, you’ll:
Discuss your community’s needs and develop creative ways to meet them
Connect with other leaders who are changing the world
The Rotary International Convention is our biggest event of the year. Rotary members from more than 130 countries meet at the convention each year to celebrate our successes and make plans for the future.
Rotary Fellowships give members the chance to join a group of people who share similar interests, hobbies, or vocations. Some groups use their fellowship to make a positive difference.
Rotarian Action Groups unite Rotary members, family members, program participants and alumni who share their expertise in particular fields by collaborating with clubs and districts on projects.
What’s expected of me?
As a club member, you will be asked to:
Pay club dues
Attend meetings and events
Use your professional skills and talents to make a difference
Rotaract and Interact clubs
If you’re between the ages of 12 and 18, you may be interested in joining an Interact club, a service club for youth. If you’re a young professional, at least 18 years old, you may be interested in joining a Rotaract club. Like Rotary clubs, Rotaract and Interact clubs give their members the chance to make friends, develop leadership skills, and create positive change. Learn more about Rotaract and Interact clubs.
How can this help our club? The children in Rotaract and Interact have parents who often want to get involved in family activities.
Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation release position statement on COVID-19 vaccination
As the first organization to envision a polio-free world through mass immunization of children, Rotary believes the decision to vaccinate is a humanitarian imperative. The Rotary International Board of Directors and Rotary Foundation Trustees believe that:
Global vaccination is the path to ending the pandemic, and we strongly encourage vaccination for all individuals, including our members.
Misinformation hinders the fight against COVID-19, and we are committed to providing our members with science-based information.
Rotary is engaged in assuring equity in vaccine access to all people. Through joint efforts with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance we are leveraging our frontline experience with polio to facilitate vaccine delivery.
Rotary salutes health care workers everywhere as they continue to provide lifesaving services. We encourage clubs to offer recognition and encouragement to these heroes.
Rotary and Rotaract clubs are encouraged to redouble their efforts to support COVID-19 prevention and vaccination efforts.
As one of the greatest advances of modern medicine, vaccines are safe, effective and save millions of lives each year. They have eliminated or controlled numerous diseases such as polio, smallpox, measles, and Ebola, and now, there is the opportunity to end the COVID-19 pandemic through vaccination.
The eradication of polio remains the goal of the highest order for Rotary. We can continue to apply the lessons we have learned in fighting polio to COVID-19 response efforts.

Ak ‘Tenamit trip, April 23-May 2, 2022 -- Join Rotarians from District 6440 and 6450 in Guatemala this Spring. Sixteen people have signed up, six spots remaining. Contact Dr. Bob Steinberg, rotarydrbob@comcast.net or 847-650-3668.
As we are all aware, COVID-19 is constantly causing changes in the rules as to how we can meet in person. As of January 3rd, the Cook County Department of Public Health has mandated that certain businesses (including food establishments) “must require any individual 5 years of age or older to show proof that they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 with an approved vaccine in order to enter the establishment.” This mandate applies to the Hilton – Chicago/Northbrook, as well as all restaurants in Cook County.
However, “businesses may, in the interest of efficiency, allow patrons to provide the vaccine proof prior to entry, either directly to the business itself or through an intermediary such as an event planner.”
Given these new mandates, the Rotary Club of Northbrook is asking:
All members to provide a copy of your vaccination card to Sandy Frum (email sandy@frum.com; text 847-370-2816; or at a meeting) so that she may maintain a master list of all those who are vaccinated. The information included on the card will NOT be shared with others except to inform the meeting place that you have been vaccinated.
All members to carry a copy of your vaccination card with you, either paper or digitally, when you attend a Club meeting in case you are required to show it.
Those who do not have a card OR have not sent or shown a copy of the card to Sandy Frum will NOT be allowed entrance to a meeting.
Thank you for your willingness to comply with these new rules during these difficult times.
