Becoming a member of Port Orchard Rotary
Our club is one in an association of nearly 32,000 autonomous clubs in 166 countries. Rotary International is one of the world's largest service organizations. The goal for our club's membership is an up-to-date and progressive representation of Port Orchard's (and surrounding area) business, vocational, and professional interests.

An important distinction between Port Orchard Rotary and other organizations is that membership is by invitation. We invite individuals to join and become members.

A primary goal of our club is to continually expand the club with committed members who have the interest and ability to get involved in service and humanitarian projects. Prospective members must:

• hold — or be retired from — a professional, proprietary, executive, or managerial position;
• have the capacity to meet the club's weekly attendance or community project participation requirements;
• live or work within the locality of the club or the surrounding area.

Visit us at one or our weekly meetings, we'll be glad to introduce you to members who'll inform you more about our club and answer questions you might have...
