Welcome to Rotary – Sponsorship Worksheet
Directions: The members of the Livingston Sunrise Rotary Club are pleased to help you learn and explore the many facets of Rotary. Sponsors are there to help support your unique development as a Rotarian. They will be responsible for introducing you to the inner workings of Rotary, both of our club and Rotary International; for answering any questions you may have about Rotary; and for putting you in the best possible position to succeed in your quest for Service Above Self as a member of the Livingston Sunrise Rotary Club.
New members and their sponsors are encouraged to work through this worksheet within the first six months of the new member’s induction. If for any reason your sponsor is unable to serve in the above role, members from the club membership committee will be glad to serve you in this role.
