NEW PRAGUE ROTARY MEMBER

Join the New Prague Rotary

Service Above Self

At the New Prague Rotary we are always looking for new members. If you are someone who enjoys networking with other professionals and neighbors and making positive impact on your community, Rotary is for you!

We give back to our community through our various activities throughout the year, in both charitable giving, fundraising, and volunteer efforts. Our big local events each year include the sponsorship of the Dozinky Days Car Cruise and our annual rose sale. Our local club also has a large focus on education and literacy, providing a New Prague High School graduating senior scholarship and sponsoring students to attend leadership and development camps each year.

If you are looking to join a group of community-oriented neighbors and do a little good, we welcome you to join.

Membership Frequently Asked Questions

What does membership cost?

Membership is $181/quarter. This includes all meals and dues to the District and Rotary International.

Are membership fees tax deductible?

In most cases dues are deductible to the business sponsor/owner. Each member should consult their tax advisor for the final determination.

How many members does the New Prague Rotary currently have?

We currently have about 53 active members in our local group.

When & where does the club meet?

We meet every Thursday at 11:30 am at the New Prague Golf Club.

What is a typical meeting like?

Our meetings last for one hour and are conveniently held during lunchtime. During the first half of our meeting we enjoy a catered lunch and good conversation with our fellow Rotarians. Every week a member arranges for a speaker or group to come and present to our club. We enjoy a variety of presentations from local community members, area representatives, school choir performances, and much more. It’s never dull and we are always punctual so our members who have to leave work to attend can reliably return on time.

Can I attend a meeting before becoming a member?

Of course! Prospective members are always welcome at any of our meetings. Feel free to contact us or any Rotary member to let us know you’d like to attend, or just come on your own!

What are the requirements/obligations of being a Rotary member?

We ask that you attend 60% + of the meetings. We ask each member to contribute $100/year to the Rotary Foundation. During our annual rose sale in October, members should sell at least 15 dozen roses. Once per year typically you need to find a speaker for the week assigned to you in advance. We also ask that members help out with our Rotary Cruise night held the Friday night of Dozinky – typically the 3rd weekend of September.

How many fundraisers do you do annually?

In the past it has been mostly three – Cruise Night, Rose Sale and the Rotary Foundation, but we may do others if the need/opportunity arises.

What is the process for becoming a new member?

Typically we encourage a perspective member to come to one of our weekly meetings to see if they like what we have to offer. Once they feel comfortable with our club we ask they fill out a membership application that is presented to the Club’s Board of Directors and then the general membership. There is a 10 day waiting period before installation as a member.
