A Rotarian is a person who looks beyond himself or herself to the community, nation and the world. A Rotarian seeks the truth, lets fairness govern relationships and strives to benefit all in every interpersonal relationship. In short, he or she puts Service Above Self.

We welcome new members. We cordially invite you to join us at a meeting and check us out! For information on membership, contact Kathleen Defever at kathleen.defever.rotary@gmail.com

The Rotary Club of Tiburon-Belvedere expects members to contribute financially in several ways.

• Annual Dues: Dues are payable by July 1 and include club membership, membership in Rotary International and a subscription to Rotarian magazine. We have several different types of membership, with an eye toward making Rotary accessible for everyone! Reach out and we'll find the membership that works for you. 
• Annual Assessment: An annual charitable donation, which is currently a suggested $200, goes into the Rotary Club of Tiburon-Belvedere Foundation account for charitable purposes and is due on January 30. The Rotary Club of Tiburon-Belvedere Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
• Every Rotarian, Every Year: Every Rotarian is expected to make a donation to the Rotary International Foundation’s annual campaign. The suggested donation is $250, but the foundation will accept any amount, and even $25 counts. Half of the money goes to important global initiatives, such as End Polio Now and Rotary Peace Centers, and an equal amount is returned to the club to use for district or global grant projects after three years. When the cumulative amount a member gives reaches $1,000, he or she receives distinction as a Paul Harris Fellow, one of Rotary’s highest honors.
• Meetings: The meeting fee is $10 for regular meetings. Pricing for special meetings, such as the Educator of the Year lunch, is announced in advance.
• Special Events: Members are encouraged to attend special events, such as the Holiday Party, the annual installation of officers and club fundraisers.
