You have to find out these answers by yourself. These are all personal questions and the answers are different for every one. Is the Rotary Club for me? How much time do I have to devote? Will I enjoy this? Will they ask me to contribute money? What will I personally gain out of this? Those are some the questions I asked myself 2 years ago before I joined the club. Perhaps, you have questions in your mind.
We know that there are many of you who have often thought about joining the club.
