INTRODUCTION
We would welcome the opportunity to share our fellowship and community service with like-minded people who, for the time, being are unable to offer the time and commitment as full members.
A Friend has a formal association with the club, which provides an avenue to participate in club activities and is not subject to the responsibilities of membership. Consequently, a Friend of Rotary is not entitled to the rights of membership, nor entitled to attend any District, National or International Rotary meetings or meetings of other Rotary clubs.
To be enrolled as a Friend of St. Ives Rotary you must be nominated by a member and the nomination approved by the Club Council. After acceptance of the nomination, the Friend will be formally welcomed at a club meeting.
We hope that, as a Friend, you will attend at least one club meeting or social event per quarter and undertake at least one voluntary fundraising or service activity each year. Meals and costs of social activities will be paid at the same rate as members.
St. Ives Rotary meets on Tuesday evenings at Slepe Hall Hotel. Friends are welcome to these meetings provided they book with the club at least 3 days in advance. Details of our meetings are published on our website.
You can also follow us on Facebook to find out what's on and the projects coming up.
