which they may resell or give away. Active members are billed $8.00 for each scheduled meeting for their meal. The meal charge is
assessed even if the member does not attend the meeting. All together, the annual cost of Rotary Club membership will be about $540.

How to Become a Member
Men and women of all ages in all professional or management positions, living or working in New Phila, or the surrounding area are invited
to consider membership. Each member has a "classification" denoting their vocation or profession. While the club strives for a wide
variety of classifications among its members, more than one member in a classification is permitted. All membership applications and
classifications are subject to Board approval.
Avenues of Service
Club Service includes the scope of activities that Rotarians undertake in support of their club, such as
serving on committees, proposing individuals for membership, and meeting attendance requirements.
Vocational Service focuses on the opportunity that Rotarians have to represent their professions as well as
their efforts to promote vocational awareness and high ethical standards in business. For decades, Rotarians having been applying the
"4-Way Test" to their business and personal relationships and in recent years, a "Declaration of Rotarians in Businesses and Professions"
has given expression to their concern for ethical standards in the workplace. From offering career guidance in high schools, to seeking
ways to improve conditions in the workplace, Rotarians and their clubs engage in many different kinds of vocational service.
Community Service includes the scope of activities which Rotarians undertake to improve the quality of life
in their community. Many official Rotary programs are intended to meet community needs, whether it be to promote literacy, help the elderly
or disabled, combat urban violence or provide opportunities for local youth.
International Service describes the activities which Rotarians undertake to advance international
understanding, goodwill and peace. The spread of Rotary clubs across the globe allows for the concerted Rotary support of humanitarian
efforts worldwide
