Rotary has many things to offer you as a member. They are not hidden, but you do need to dig for details. One that may be of interest to you is the Rotary Fellowships.Fellowships are members who share a common interest in recreational activities, sports, hobbies or professions. By joining one of these fellowships you may make lasting friendships outside of your club, district or country. Sharing a common interest will enhance your experiences and introduce new friends.
There are about 40 fellowships that function independently of Rotary International. The dues and activity of each fellowship varies with the leadership. To learn more go to www.rotary.org/fellowships. Examples of fellowships include: antique automobiles, bird watching, cruising, and international travel and hosting.
When I travel internationally I contact a Rotarian from that area for guidance in things to see or avoid. He or she may host me at home or take me out to dinner. In exchange, I am willing to host a fellow member traveling in my area.
