Become a Member

Impact starts with our members — people like you who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.

At club meetings in communities across the globe, our people of action come together to strengthen their connections to friends and neighbors and their commitment to improving lives.
 

Who can join?

We’re looking for people who want to give back to their communities.

Rotary clubs also welcome Rotaractors, Rotary Peace Fellows, and other members of the family of Rotary who qualify for membership.
 

How can I become a member?

Our club welcomes new members! Feel free to visit a meeting on Thursday from 7:00-8:00 am at Rangeley Hall on the Sylvan Road in Bangor to learn more about us. For additional information, please contact us via email or through Facebook.
 

What are the benefits?

Becoming a Rotary member connects you with a diverse group of professionals who share your drive to give back. Through regular meetings and events, you’ll:

  • Discuss your community’s needs and develop creative ways to meet them
  • Connect with other leaders who are changing the world
  • Expand your leadership and professional skills
  • Catch up with good friends and meet new ones
 

Why join our club…?

  1. Professional Networking: A founding principle of Rotary is to provide a forum for professional and business leaders. Members are leaders in business, industry, community, the arts, education, government, sports, the military, and religion.
     
  2. The Opportunity to Serve: Rotarians provide service at both the community and international levels. Service programs support health care needs, hunger and poverty, illiteracy, disaster relief, the arts, education and environmental cleanups, to name a few. Members experience the fulfillment that comes from giving back to the community.
     
  3. Personal Growth and Development: Membership in Rotary ensures continuing personal and professional development. Leadership, public speaking and communication, organization and planning, team-building, fundraising, and teaching are just a sampling of the skills that can be exercised and enhanced through Rotary.
     
  4. Friendship:  Rotary helps to build community, as well as enduring friendships. Today, with more than 30,000 Rotary clubs in over 160 countries, and hundreds of members in eastern Maine, Rotarians have friends wherever they go.
     
  5. Cultural Diversity:  Clubs are open to members of every ethnic group, political persuasion, language, and religious belief. Rotary clubs include leaders from countries all over the world who practice and promote tolerance.
     
  6. Good Citizenship: Membership in Rotary makes one a better citizen. Weekly Rotary club programs keep members informed about what is taking place in the community, nation, and world. Rotary's expansive network of clubs and programs provides extensive opportunities for service and interchange.
     
  7. World Understanding: Rotary members gain an understanding of humanitarian issues and have a significant impact on them through international service projects and exchange programs of RI and its Foundation. The promotion of peace is one of Rotary's highest objectives.
     
  8. Entertainment: Every Rotary club and district hosts parties and activities that offer diversion from one’s personal and business life. Conferences, conventions, assemblies, and social events provide entertainment, as well as Rotary information, education, and service.
     
  9. Family Foundations: Rotary sponsors some of the world’s largest youth exchange and educational exchange and scholarship programs. Rotary clubs provide innovative training opportunities and mentoring for future leaders. They involve family members in a wide range of social and service activities.
     
  10. Ethical Environment: Rotarians practice a 4-Way Test that measures words and actions by their truthfulness, fairness, goodwill, and benefit to all. Encouraging high ethical standards in one's profession and respect for all worthy vocations has been a hallmark of Rotary from its earliest days.
