“I am a member of Shaftesbury Rotary for fun and friendship while at the same time feeling I am doing something worthwhile for our community.”

“I did like the openness of how Rotary works, nothing secretive, and the information was clear and positive with no hidden surprises.”

“I particularly warmed to the understanding that Rotarians recognised the priority of family, business and then Rotary in that order”

“The opportunity of putting something no matter how small back into the community that we live in and enjoy the company of like-minded people”

“My family business moved from London to Shaftesbury and Rotary was the ideal connection to enable my wife and me to become part of the community.”

“The rotary club provides a unique and fun way to do good for your local community and also raises money for major charities.”

“This was a unique opportunity in a small town to join a worldwide club and enjoy the company of Rotarians from so many different backgrounds”

“I was attracted to Rotary’s international reputation and the twinning with the Dutch rotary club of Heerlen”
