The Rotary Membership Process

The Rotary Club of St. John's Northwest is composed of individuals who are passionate about community and international service.  Rotary members enjoy networking with like-minded professionals who are looking to provide their considerable talents and energies in the service of others. We are actively seeking new members.

Sponsorship by a Rotarian Friend or Colleague:

It all starts with attending one of our lunch meetings. If you already know one of our members, consider asking them about Rotary and letting them know of your interest in joining the club. Once invited, come listen to one of our great speakers, network with other members, and learn more about our commitment to community.

If you do not know a Rotarian personally:

Rotary membership is by invitation. However, we are eager to welcome individuals who share similar goals. If you would like to become a member of our worldwide family and don't know a Rotarian personally, please fill in this form or contact:

Your Commitment to Rotary

The amount of time you commit to Rotary is really up to you, but at a minimum, you should be prepared to attend our bi-weekly luncheon meetings, consisting of approximately 1 hour. 

Although meeting attendance is flexible, you will also get more from your Rotary experience by engaging with other members and participating in club committees and projects. 

Your commitment to Rotary will consist of the following: 

• Strive to attend 50% of our club's bi-weekly luncheon meetings, which take place on the first and third Tuesday of the month, starting at 12:30 p.m., at Daffodil Place, 70 Ropewalk Lane, St. John's.
• Attend our evening club assembly meetings, usually held three times a year. This allows members to receive committee updates and other club news.
• Participate in club committees and projects.
• Pay annual club dues.
• Propose new members!

The Membership Induction Process:

If, after attending two or more club meetings, you decide that membership in the Rotary Club of St. John’s Northwest is right for you, the process to induction is as follows:

• Your Rotary sponsor fills out a membership proposal application on your behalf and submits it to the Membership Recruitment Committee Chair.
• A face-to-face interview is arranged with you and two members of the Membership Recruitment Committee.
• The Committee will make a recommendation to the Club’s Board.
• At its next meeting, the Board will review your application.
• If approved, your name and a short bio will be circulated to all members, who have seven days to provide feedback to the Membership Recruitment Committee.
• Barring any legitimate objections, you and your sponsor will be contacted to arrange a date for your induction into our club.
• You are inducted as a member of the Rotary Club of St. John’s Northwest and will receive your Rotary pin and membership button. Buttons are worn at each club luncheon and at special events.

The Benefits!

• You will have many opportunities to serve our community and the world.  Please see the “What we do” tab on our home page.
• You will be engaged in networking opportunities with other business and community leaders.
