Rotary: Connecting with prospective members
When someone is interested in joining Rotary, they can go to rotary.org/join, answer some questions about themselves and what attracted them to Rotary, and then choose a club based on meeting location, day and time, and format.
The person’s information goes into our prospective member management system, and the club is notified via email that they have a membership inquiry.
Club leaders can find the information about these prospective members by signing in to My Rotary. (Learn how.)
Then, club leaders can connect with that person to understand their interests and needs and invite them to experience what their club has to offer.

Care without borders
As I sat beside my father in the hospital, listening to the quiet rhythm of machines that now spoke more steadily than his own voice, life felt stripped down to its essentials. Serious illness has a way of doing that. It reveals what matters most, and it reminds us – sometimes gently, sometimes painfully – of what should matter to all of us.
My father was facing advanced cancer. The path was uneven and often cruel, yet even in that difficult space I was struck by a simple truth: Every person, everywhere, deserves access to care that honours their dignity. Not just treatment but compassion. Not just medicine but the assurance that their life holds value.
Watching nurses move with practiced grace and doctors offer both honesty and hope, I was struck by the thought that millions will never experience this level of support. Not because their lives matter less, but because access to care remains uneven across countries and communities. This is not a political argument; it is a human one.
Every family deserves the same chance at healing. Through my years in Rotary, I have come to understand that The Rotary Foundation shows us how this belief is shared across cultures and nations.
At a time when international development funding for disease prevention and treatment is contracting, vital health projects risk losing momentum. Our Foundation – and you, our members – provide the community-driven support needed to keep that from happening.
We are funding vaccines in Pakistan, training health workers in Mozambique, and strengthening fragile health systems in Guatemala. Through the Foundation, international cooperation is not an abstract ideal. It is a responsibility, achievable when people choose to act with generosity, partnership, and shared humanity. I am so proud of our collective leadership.
Sitting there, holding my father’s hand as he drifted in and out of sleep, I was reminded of how fragile and precious life is. The measure of a just world is not found in its wealth or its power but in how fiercely it protects the vulnerable.
Through your generosity and commitment to our Foundation – and through the simple act of caring across borders – we move closer to a world where no one is left behind.

ROTARIAN CODE OF CONDUCT
As a Rotarian, I will:
***1. Act with integrity and high ethical standards in my personal and professional life
2. Deal fairly with others and treat them and their occupations with respect
3. Use my professional skills through Rotary to mentor young people, help those with special needs, and improve people’s quality of life in my community and in the world
4. Avoid behaviour that reflects adversely on Rotary or other Rotarians
5. Help maintain a harassment-free environment in Rotary meetings, events, and activities; report any suspected harassment; and help ensure non-retaliation to those individuals that report harassment
Rotary’s Code of Conduct provides a simple but powerful guide for ethical behaviour, emphasizing honesty, accountability, and respect for others. Along with the Four-Way Test, it encourages thoughtful reflection on how we live and interact, helping us become better citizens and better human beings.
