Rotary is inclusive. There is no distinction based on gender, religion, political affiliation, ethnicity, race, disability, or appearance. Rotarians are business and professional leaders who take an active role in their communities while enriching their personal and professional lives through membership.

A Rotary Club contains a diverse group of members from the community that the club serves. Rotarians include business owners, managers, chefs, teachers, nurses, clergy, architects, doctors, salespersons, a clown, retirees etc. In other words, Rotary is open to all people interested in service in their community and internationally.

Rotary is a grassroots organization with most of its service efforts being carried out at the Club level. The District and International structures are designed to support Rotary Clubs and help them provide maximum service in their local communities and abroad. 

 

 

Rotarians come from all walks of life. Some are businessmen and women and many are local professionals.  They can come to us from government or local organizations or services, in such areas as the arts, sciences, humanities, health, education, law enforcement, politics and religion. People retired from businesses or professions are welcome to become members as well.

Most clubs today are also trying to appeal to a younger and diverse cohort, so the Club truly represents its community. Our members come from very diverse backgrounds and our ages range from 20 to 80+.

 Although it is often said that membership is by invitation, if you feel that you are in any of the above categories and have an interest in joining, we will welcome you to one of our meetings, so you have a better sense of the atmosphere of the Club and the dedication of its members.

 

We meet at the Saturn Club, 977 Delaware Avenue (Buffalo) at 7:30  AM on the 1^st, and 3^rd Tuesdays of the  month. The meetings are fun, light, informative and provide great fellowship. We schedule in-person gatherings ("field trips", or "hands-on" projects) during the 2nd week. We have our monthly Socials on the 4th Tuesday in the early evenings. 4th week is reserved for Board/Committee meetings
