NOTE: Starting May 5, Rotary Club of Bonita Springs Breakfast Meetings will be held on Tuesdays (shifting from Thursdays)
at Spanish Wells Country Club, 9801 Treasure Cay Lane, Bonita Springs, FL 34135.
Welcome!
We invite you to learn about Rotary and the Rotary Club of Bonita Springs.
Our vibrant Club is part of Rotary International with 1.2 million Rotarians making a positive difference across the world. We embrace Rotary’s Vision: Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
We are people of action who develop lasting friendships as we gather for Club meetings, fundraisers and community service projects.
This year, our Club’s goals are to:
- Grow Membership: As a Club, we can have a greater impact with additional quality members; together we will find ways to diversity our membership, increase participation and offer new opportunities for personal and professional connections.
- Enhance the Club Experience:Find new ways to make our meetings, socials, fundraising activities and service projects more appealing and engaging – for us and for prospective Members.
- Provide Service:Service to the Club, service to each other, and service to our community. We’ll continue to “do good in the world” through our service projects and leverage this work to build awareness of Rotary’s impact and brand.
As a member of Rotary for nearly 35 years, I’ve personally experienced the way Rotary can change lives – including mine. If you wish to learn more about how Rotary could enhance your life, please contact us today and join us for an upcoming breakfast meeting.
