ROTARY FELLOWSHIPS Do you know about Rotary Fellowships? Rotary Fellowships are international groups that share a common passion. Being part of a fellowship is a fun way to make friends around the world, explore a hobby or profession, and enhance your Rotary experience.
Past-President Amanda Folmar is a member of the International Fellowship of Flying Rotarians. President Diane Kavanaugh and President-Elect Beth Blaisdell enjoy membership in the Rotary Wine Appreciation Fellowship.
If you become a member of a fellowship, please let President Diane know.
