5. Grow:
Joining a Rotary club has many benefits, as you have read on this site. But something happens to people after they join, and you will often hear senior Rotarians explain that the reasons they stayed in Rotary so long is very different than the reasons they first joined. Serve well in Rotary, and you may find that you become a kinder, better, more impactful person. Engage in meaningful projects, do good, and have fun!

You may terminate your membership at any time.
