Community Partnership
Community Partnership
Community Partnership is defined as an agreement with a company/organization, which pays for individual membership dues for two or more. The business/organization itself cannot be a club member – ONLY individuals can be members.
At least one representative/individual member should attend weekly meetings. All individuals are required to go through induction process. Since all Community Partner Members are full club members, they are entitled to all benefits of membership and are required to abide by all rules set forth in the Rotary Club of Strongsville By-Laws. (i.e. running for any club office)
Company/organization is responsible for payment of dues and fees for all active members. (Rotary International dues, fees, district dues, club dues, and weekly breakfasts) Company/organization will automatically be charged for weekly breakfasts for ONE primary member on a monthly basis. Breakfast charges for additional Community Partner Members and guests attending the same day will be billed to the company/organization on a monthly basis. The company/organization has the option to designate more than one primary member, multiplying the number of weekly meals automatically billed.
