Our Rotary district is part of the District Visioning project. We have a team of trained volunteers that will come out to our club to help guide West Rotary members in series of visioning exercises. By going through these exercises club members will have a chance to input in the development of the future vision for the West Rotary Club.
This Visioning is a great first step to making a strategic plan.
When: Wednesday June 15th 5:30 PM- 9:00 PM
Where: Champion’s Run
Who: Officers, Board Members, anyone who has an interest in guiding our club We need about 30 members.
What should you do? Let Vickie know you are interested and put it on your calendar.

West Rotary will not hold a previously announced fellowship on June 9th and a Wingding at Trudy Bredthauer's home on July 7th due to a schedule conflict.

The event will be held at the new home of Susan Thomas, a condo in Midtown Crossing, from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Food and drinks will be provided.

The West Rotary Board approved a Corporate & Family Membership program. An Active Primary club member can propose a qualified family member or a qualified business co-worker for membership. The membership proposal has information in regard to membership qualifications on the form. The new corporate or family member joining will pay dues of $125 with no admission fee. If the primary member resigns one of the corporate or family members will become the primary member and pay the appropriate primary membership fee. The reduced dues rate of $125.00 will be effective the first three years of membership. Click here to see the membership proposal form and flyer for the new program. The information can also be found on the left side of the club website homepage under Site Pages/Joining Rotary. Members, if you have a qualified family member or co-worker please invite them to Rotary for lunch so they can consider joining West Rotary.
