HYBRID MEMBERSHIP
The RCY Board of Directors has approved, and our club is now offering, a Hybrid Membership. This membership has been successfully introduced in other service clubs. It expands growth in our service to community and removes barriers to membership increasingly told to us by professionals who are unable to commit fully as an active member but want to participate in Rotary.
• NEW MEMBERS only with virtual focus
• Commit to 50% attendance and committee service
• Pay $300 application fee, reduced quarterly dues (no meals), attend new member orientation, join a committee, engage with the Club.
• After 6 months of membership with mentor & monitoring, may change to Active (full) membership if they choose to.
For more information contact Membership Chair, Jon Toy at jon.toy@fastsigns.com
