A sponsor Rotary club to provide support and partnership
-
An adviser from your sponsor club
-
A faculty adviser (if it’s a university-based club) to serve as a liaison between your sponsor Rotary club and the university administration
-
Members!
-
Strong club leaders to help organize your club, grow your membership, and carry out successful projects.
Where can I find members for our club?

-
Post updates to your club website or blog, Facebook page, and Twitter account
