Welcome
Passport Clubs can help attract or retain members in Rotary clubs within the district:
- Financial: Passport Club membership can help retain members whose financial situation may have changed, providing a less expensive option. The dues for the Passport Club are only $180 per year with a onetime admission fee of $15. Typically there are no meal costs as the Club commonly meets over light refreshments.
- Time commitment: Passport Club membership allows flexibility with participation due to issues with career, family, commuting, or meeting times.
The Passport Club meets only one Saturday a month for a club meeting and once a month to do either a service project or attend a meeting at any other Rotary Club. This represents a great opportunity to maintain relationships with old friends and at the same time make some new ones.
If you have a Rotarian that could benefit from this “Member Rescue”, please contact Ramesh Hariharan, the President of the Passport Club at ramesh@compusharp.com. Inform Ramesh that you have a member in good standing that will be terminating with his current club and is recommended for membership with the Passport Club. It’s a simple idea that can make a big difference for people who value their membership in Rotary.
Financial situations and the demands of work can and do change. When this happens a Passport Club Rotarian can rejoin a previous club when things improve. Keeping good people who desire to continue in Rotary is vital to ensuring participation and it is important to help members discover ways to continue participating actively.
