Rotary FAQ
-
Is there a discount for 91传媒 members who want to join Rotary or for Rotarians who want to join 91传媒?Back to Top
No, there are no discounts for dual membership currently.
-
Do Rotary clubs know about this alliance?Back to Top
Just like 91传媒, Rotary International has communicated with its leaders that our two organizations are working together. However, there is the possibility that you may try to connect with a Rotary club that has not yet heard about the alliance. If that happens, you can share what you know (perhaps even sending them this FAQ), or direct them to toastmasters.org/Rotary for more information.
It’s important to note that much like 91传媒 clubs, Rotary clubs are autonomous, and determine their own activities/priorities that reflect their members’ interests and community’s needs. If a club doesn’t have the capacity or interest to collaborate at this time, there may be another one nearby with a better fit.

Can 91传媒 clubs or Districts participate in Rotary club or district fundraisers?Back to Top
If an individual 91传媒 member chooses to participate in a Rotary event, it is their personal choice. However, it is against 91传媒 policy to co-sponsor fundraising events and therefore, clubs and Districts cannot use their name in connection with non-educational events. Please keep this in mind if a Rotary club extends an invitation for fundraising.

What can I do as a club officer to support the Rotary/91传媒 alliance?Back to Top
The ongoing relationship between 91传媒 and Rotary began at the grassroots level with local club involvement. 91传媒 club leaders and members have the option and opportunity to engage with the alliance by:
- Visiting a Rotary club meeting
- Ask club leaders if you can attend as a guest to observe how it works. Stay afterward to introduce yourself and potentially invite a member to attend your 91传媒 club meeting.
- Welcoming Rotarians who visit your club and providing them with information about 91传媒
- Inviting a Rotarian to be a guest speaker at an upcoming meeting
- Holding a joint meeting with a Rotary club
Keep in mind that there is no requirement that 91传媒 clubs become involved in the 91传媒 Rotary alliance. However, if your club is interested in supporting the alliance, you can see what others are doing via this with examples of local collaboration.
