T1314EN

Rotary Club Bali Ubud Sunset welcomes new members.

Past President Marilyn pins newest member Bill Page, while President Lloyd looks on.

The benefits: Members of our club enjoy

  • fellowship with a diverse, multicultural group of active people
  • opportunities to engage in credible and well-managed service projects
  • a weekly program of excellent speakers on topics of international, local and cultural interest
  • learning about activities, projects and events around Bali and the world
  • a welcome to meetings of the 33,000 Rotary International clubs around the world
  • meeting our many international and Indonesian guests
  • inviting their friends, family and visitors to be guests at the club
  • eligibility to access online resources, newsletters and information about international service projects and issues
  • attendance at special events, conferences, trainings and seminars
  • the chance to mentor and support young people through scholarships, fellowships, RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) and Rotaract, our active and vibrant youth section.

The commitments: Rotarians aim to live and work within defined ethical guidelines:

 

Service above Self, in accordance with the Rotary motto, and the

Four Way Test of the things we think, say or do:

Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

Club service
Members support the club both by their attendance and through active service (such as joining committees, contributing to the website, fundraising for projects, suggesting speakers and greeting guests).

Meetings: RCBUS asks members to attend 60% of possible meetings annually. This can be at our club, or through ‘make ups’ at other clubs around the world, even online via e-Clubs. Indeed, many of our members spend only part of their time in Ubud, and engage with clubs elsewhere as part of their overall membership of Rotary International. Project planning, attendance at functions and project site visits also count as ‘make up’ meetings.
