Committees Make Rotary Work

Rotary Club 29 is a large organization that works beautifully because of the strong commitment to “Service Above Self” by its members. To continue our 100+ year tradition of excellent fellowship, extraordinary programs, and exceptional service to the community, every Club 29 member is asked to volunteer to serve on at least one committee. The following is a list of about 30 committees that make Club 29 work so well. Please review the list in its entirety, and select which one(s) you are interested in serving. If you have questions regarding the function of the committee, please consult the committee descriptions link provided in each group.

Choose one (or more than one) committee. Whatever your choice, those are the committees you'll serve on. Committees are organized in Groups. When finished, click SUBMIT at the bottom of the form.

Thank you for your service to Rotary!
