About The Rotary Club of The Villages
Founded in 1996 in Lady Lake Florida, we were the first of three clubs now in The Villages, Florida. “Service Above Self” is not only the motto for Rotary International, but the mindset for us as well. We strive to raise money to support our local community as well as International efforts.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR Club:
As we start the Rotary year, I have been
thinking about ways we can build a better club
and improve retention of club members. In
order to address this issue, we need to consider
what does our club provide to members (both
current and potential)? I believe there are
three main themes we can mention when giving
our elevator speech about why someone may
consider being a member. 1st Rotary provides
an opportunity for fun and fellowship. 2nd
Rotary provides an opportunity for career
networking and leadership development. 3rd
Rotary provides an opportunity to be of service
to our local, national, and international
community. For example, whether it be an
evening out to celebrate with other Rotarians,
doing work as a board member for either the
club or foundation or an opportunity to work
with others on district and global grants, Rotary
makes a difference in the lives of the members
of our club(s) and the community at-large.
Please consider telling your friends and
neighbors about all the great things that Rotary
embodies. Have a great month and we hope to
see you at our meetings.
