THE ROTARY CLUB OF ARBURY TODAY.
Fellowship is
the backbone of Rotary, and from this we are able to achieve high levels of
voluntary service.
The Club structure is based on the usual Rotary model and
in addition to the Club Council, the Rotary Club of Arbury operates with
5
Committees, namely Club Administration, Community
Service, Vocational Service Membership Development
and International/Foundation. With the
exception of the Club President, each member is allocated to a specific
Committee, with the President attending as time allows.
All Club meetings start with a meal, in the manner set by
the Founder of Rotary International in 1905, namely Paul Harris. Members of
other Clubs, and local guests and friends, often join us and an air of
conviviality pervades, the Arbury Club being acknowledged as a very friendly
Club. The general pattern of meetings is to have a Business meeting once every 4
weeks and a Speaker meeting on the other 3 weeks, all after the Dinner. Members
take it in turn to provide and host the Speaker and some are " in - house ". A
very wide set of interesting topics is covered, including serious, educational,
witty and amusing and combinations of these and most are usually illustrated in
some form.
The Arbury Club certainly adheres to the Rotary motto "
Service above Self " and members work hard, via their Committees, to maintain a
vigorous and worthwhile series of projects, whether they be relative to the
local community, the Rotary District 1060, national or international. All work
starts at Committee level and other Club members become involved as the project
or social event develops. Some projects or support schemes may be " one-off",
but most are designed to be continuous or periodic, such as annually.
We only achieve all of these projects by
being involved, and this is very much part of the enjoyment and satisfaction
gained from being a member of the Rotary Club of Arbury
