membership ... commitment & involvement

 

Being a member of Rotary involves a commitment, in terms of time and some cost.

 

Each club has an annual fee, generally payable in two half-yearly installments. 

The Rotary Club of Belconnen attempts to keep this fee as low as possible.

 

There is also a personal involvement "cost" - time and effort.

 

Up front, there is an expectation that you will attend at least 60% of club meetings each half year.  The Rotary Club of Belconnen meets each Wednesday evening at the Belconnen Soccer Club in Hawker. This is a dinner meeting where the cost of the two course meal (including bread roll, tea or coffee) is currently $20-00.

 

Each member is assigned to one of the club's various committees.  These committees meet on a regular basis to examine the merits of requests for support, and whether the club is able to provide assistance at this time.  Sometimes this may be in terms of a cash or in-kind contribution.  On other occasions support may be provided by alternate methods (eg: a working bee).  A committee may meet once per month for an hour or two.

 

Finally, there is the Belconnen Trash and Treasure Market at the Jamison Centre.  This market is the primary source of income for the Rotary Club of Belconnen, which in turn provides the opportunity for each and every committee to provide a variety of support both locally, nationally and internationally to worthwhile causes.  The bulk of funds raised are returned within the local community.  All members are placed onto a roster to assist in one way or another with the operation of this market.

 

We expect all of our members to help us raise funds by participation in the running the Trash and Treasure Market. We also expect members to be involved in their committee and take part in the social activities of the club.

 

Should you wish to attend one of our club’s meetings or seek further information, please  contact the  Membership Officer at Membership.
