How do I join the Brighton Rotary Club?

"The Brighton Rotary club is always interested in new members of good character. You could become a valuable member and make a contribution to our Club and the Brighton community. For further information, please contact us.

There are many reasons to join The Rotary Club of Brighton:

Networking - As members of the oldest service club in the world, Rotarians represent a cross-section of our community’s business owners, executives, managers, political leaders, and professionals - people who make decisions and influence policy.

Service - Club members have many opportunities for humanitarian service, both locally and internationally. Humanitarian Service programs address concerns such as health care, hunger, poverty, illiteracy, and the environment. Rotarians regularly experience the fulfillment that comes from giving back to the community.

Friendship - Rotary was founded on fellowship, a cornerstone that continues to attract members today. Rotarians enjoy camaraderie with like-minded professionals, and club projects provide opportunities to develop enduring friendships. Club members who travel have friendly contacts in almost every city of the world.

Family - Rotary sponsors some of the world’s largest exchange and educational programs. Our club provides innovative training opportunities and mentoring for young leaders, and they involve family members in a wide range of social and service activities.

Ethics - Encouraging high ethical standards and respect for all worthy vocations has been a hallmark of Rotary from its earliest days. In their business and professional lives, Rotarians abide by The Four-Way Test:
Of the things we think, say or do

  • Is it the TRUTH?
  • Is it FAIR to all concerned?
  • Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
  • Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

Leadership - Rotary is an organization of successful professionals. Team-building, fundraising, public speaking, planning, organization, and communication are just some of the leadership skills that club members can exercise and enhance. Being a Rotary leader provides further experience in motivating, inspiring, and guiding others.
