ROTARY WAS?

Most people picture stuffy lunches and old business cards.
Here's the real story.

The History & Heart of Rotary

Rotarians Are Everywhere — Including Sarasota Bay

Rotary is a global network of 1.4 million neighbors, friends, and community leaders who come together to create lasting change — locally and around the world. In Sarasota since 1958, our club has been at the heart of that mission.

Membership

Membership Starts with a Conversation

Rotary membership is by invitation — and that's intentional. When you join, you're not just signing up for a club. You're being personally welcomed by someone who already believes in you.

The easiest first step? Come to one of our Tuesday meetings as our guest. No commitment, no pressure — just lunch, great people, and a real look at what we do. If Rotary feels like a fit, a member will be glad to sponsor your membership and walk you through the rest.

🤝 Every Rotary member was once a guest who sat next to the right person. That person could be at our next meeting — Tuesday at noon.
