Rotary Changes/ New Payment Options for Membership Dues
At the Rotary Club of New Orleans, we are always looking for ways to improve our financial efficiency while providing the best service to our membership.
 
As part of our commitment to maintaining a balanced budget, we are updating our payment policies. Starting October 1, 2026, a 4% service charge will be applied to all credit card transactions.
 
We understand that convenience is a priority for our members. To offer a fee-free alternative, we have officially introduced ACH (Automated Clearing House) payments. Using ACH is a secure, efficient way to manage your dues, ensuring your payments are processed on time without any additional fees.
 
An ACH authorization form to this was emailed to the membership. Please complete and return it to our club Executive Secretary, Tara Knowles (neworleansrotaryclub@gmail.com) to set up your account. If you have any questions about this new process, please don’t hesitate to reach out to myself (jeremy.hunnewell@gmail.com) or Tara Knowles.
 
Thank you for being a valued part of our club.
 
Rotary Connects

Rotary Connects, our project to promote New Orleans non-profit organizations that do good work for our local community, is off and running!  Thanks to many members of our Club, several nominations of non-profits were made and the Voting Subcommittee, after a thorough and  exhaustive review of every name submitted, have selected three non-profits for consideration.  The next step is that these three non-profit names will be submitted to the Board at its next meeting.  Thereafter, the recommendation will come back to the Club for a vote.  Stay tuned.  We will keep you posted on our progress.

The Four Way Test

The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians recite it at club meetings:
Of the things we think, say or do:

1.     Is it the TRUTH?

2.     Is it FAIR to all concerned?

3.     Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

4.     Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
