Our Rotary Club is more than just the annual Arts and Crafts Fair. Being a member of the Rotary Club of Sanibel and Captiva provides friendships and fellowships in our community. Joining Rotary also gains you a network of businesses to enhance the local economic synergy and more! Beyond the local area benefits members can find help when traveling.

On a trip and in need of a doctor, hotels, or more? Rotarians have no problems when they are out of town or even internationally! There are few places in the world that do not have a Rotary Club, but not many. Every Rotarian is welcomed to any of the 33,790 clubs open in over 534 districts located in over 200 countries and territories representing 1,234,527 Rotarians worldwide. Just think the USA alone has 7,816 clubs with 376,321 members. But remember, you are not just a number in Rotary, you are a member of a worldwide network of local business, professional, and community leaders who share the same values. (Totals as of 6/30/2009)

There are many more benefits to membership in Rotary. One thing that sets Rotary apart from other clubs and social groups is the absence of an "Official Creed". We believe in an open society of men and women who simply believe in helping others with no secret meetings or rituals.

Belonging to a Rotary club gives men and women an enjoyable and organized way to make a contribution to their community. Rotary members meet weekly to plan club, community, and international service activities. By using their skills and expertise globally, members also enhance their professional network, career development, and cross-cultural understanding. Rotary clubs are nonreligious, nongovernmental, and open to every race, culture, and creed. Members represent a cross section of local business and professional leaders.

Rotarians love sharing "pockets of peace" and world understanding throughout communities and throughout the world.
