Rotary is a service club. Rotarians provide community service to both local and international communities. This is perhaps the best reason for becoming a Rotarian: the chance to do something for somebody else and the self-fulfillment that comes in the process. It is definitely very richly rewarding.
The term “passport” refers to the ability for our members to move freely from club to club, attending the meetings (virtual too) and participating in the activities of other clubs. Any Rotarian can attend another club when traveling, but our passport club encourages our members to do so regularly which brings fresh ideas back to our club.
Unlike traditional Rotary Clubs, the benefits of the Rotary Passport Club of the Central Coast include…
• Meeting less frequently and without required weekly lunches. If you have a busy schedule, you will have more choices for fitting Rotary into your life.
• Focusing meetings on service or social activities.
• Appealing to people who wouldn’t join a more traditional club. We also help keep people in Rotary who might otherwise leave.
• Affordable dues. We can help retain members where expense is a drawback to joining or continuing Rotary.
• Measuring club health by participation rather than attendance.
• “Meetings” which are quarterly, can be social gatherings, service activities, virtual meetings, or fundraisers.
• More Connections — Our members quickly build relationships across the district and beyond.
• Strong Service Projects — Connecting with members of other clubs presents opportunities for our club and other clubs to partner together on service projects to create greater impact both locally and globally.
