Welcome to our club website
We differ from traditional “Terra Clubs” in that we meet online. Our meetings are available 24/7/365, consisting of engaging and interesting topics every week. Our membership is dynamic and global in nature. The purpose of Rotary eClub of the State of Jefferson is to extend Rotary membership to business, professional and community leaders who are unable to meet traditional attendance requirements or who prefer the convenience of an online club.
We offer the opportunity for Rotarians who are considering terminating their membership in a traditional terra club due to demanding business or family commitments, extensive travel, confinement due to ill health or disability, or residence beyond reasonable distance from an existing Rotary club; to remain connected to Rotary, fellow Rotarians and continue to perform Service Above Self.
Our philosophy is...
- To partner with other clubs on both local and international projects and grants.
- To develop symbiotic relationships with terra and eclubs around the world;
- To encourage our members to participate in terra club activities in their communities. This includes but is not limited to helping with local service projects, serving as host families for exchange students and doing make-up when possible at a local club;
- To encourage terra clubs that have members resign to suggest that their previous member consider joining our club or some other eClub so that those people will not be lost to Rotary
Ordinary People working together to accomplish extraordinary things!
“Rotary International is a worldwide association of almost 35,000 autonomous Rotary clubs.
