Becoming a Minneapolis City of Lakes Rotary member connects you with a diverse group of professionals who share your interests and drive to give back. Why should you consider joining? Here’s our Top 10!

1. Friendship / Fellowship / Community: In an increasingly complex world, Rotary helps fulfill one of the most basic human needs: the need for friendship and fellowship. It is one of two reasons why Rotary began in 1905.
2. Networking: Having the opportunity to meet other professionals is the second reason Rotary began. Rotary consists of a cross-section of industries. We help each other and, collectively, help others.
3. Personal Growth: Membership in Rotary ensures continuing personal development.
4. Leadership Development: Rotary is an organization of leaders and successful people. You’ll learn new ways to motivate, influence and lead leaders.
5. Your Club, Your Way. Whatever your interests, you’ll find a way to share with others both through our club and through the many special interest groups available on a global basis.
6. Knowledge: Each week, our guest speakers share inform and educate us about what is going on in the community, nation and world.
7. Fun: Club meetings and events are fun and a great way to meet new people.
8. Global Impact: There are few places in the world that do not have a Rotary club. As a member of our club, you are welcome - and encouraged - to attend any of the 30,000+ clubs in 194 nations and geographical regions.
9. Public Speaking Skills: Club involvement helps you develop confidence and communication skills.
