How to join the Rotary Club of San Marcos
1. Send us an email at smtxrotary@gmail.com and tell us you are interested in learning more about Rotary.
2. We will invite you to have lunch as our guest at our weekly Wednesdays meetings at noon. Come a couple of times and experience the meetings and meet some Rotarians. Rotarians are young and old, men and women, of all races and ethnicities, and from many different professions, businesses, and trades.
3. If you decide you want to join tell one of the Rotarians. He or she will fill out a short form with your basic information and propose you as a member.
4. Membership is approved by the club's Board of Directors. You will be promptly notified when you are approved and we will induct you into the club at a regular meeting.
5. What does membership cost? The basic membership is $50 a month which pays for Rotary District and International dues and a subscription to the Rotary Magazine. If you want to eat lunch at the meetings that is an additional $10 a week. That is up to you. Occasionally donations will be solicited for service projects, but giving is also voluntary.
6. When you become a Rotarian you join more than 1.4 million people in 33,000 clubs around the world. You become a part of the oldest service organization, dating back to 1905. The San Marcos Club dates back to 1921. We hope to see you soon!
