Rotary Now!

We are forming a satellite club of the Rotary Club of Kelowna that will be called “Rotary Now! Kelowna”, and it offers a connection to a diverse group of like-minded people who want to give back to the community while enjoying networking & fellowship in service and social activities.  In particular we are hoping this will be attractive to busy folk who may have trouble with regular attendance at a traditional breakfast or luncheon meeting.  Young professionals, entrepreneurs, socially minded of all ages, or more seasoned civic & business leaders… the idea is to be inclusive and innovative.  The Club will be different from traditional Rotary Clubs in that…

- Meetings are (currently) 4:00-5:00 pm 2x per month (1st & 3rd Wednesday) in a boardroom setting, no meal involved.

- There are initially no Rotary “traditions” (anthem, invocation, “happy dollars”, etc) until and unless introduced by the membership.

- The non-business weeks (2, 4 & 5 if there is one) will allow for a variety of options that could include:

                - Social meeting (dinner or other, families & friends included).

                - Service project (meet where the group is working on a project, again families & friends welcome).

                - Presentation (not weekly, but as scheduled).

                - Activity social (monthly walk? bicycle ride? yoga class?!)

                - E-meeting (as and when similar “sister” clubs are formed elsewhere)
