It maybe some time since you joined ROTI and this explanation form Robin Chapple, our Hardworking Membership Chair, might be good revision and is well worth a re read. It may just jog your memory on some parts of ROTI that you may have forgotten Congratulations. You are now a member of this wonderful, worldwide Fellowship of Rotarians On The Internet (ROTI).

Your entry in our database is the validation for your membership. From this database you will receive official notices and announcements.

Our ROTI Domain at roti.org will get you to all our ROTI sites as well as some major Rotary sites. We have a "tour" to get you started and hope that navigation will be easy enough to not require much instruction. We do encourage you to make any suggestions you have to the appropriate people on the contact list and feel free to use our support services available on the help page. You will find all the ROTI officers here: roti.org/About/about4.htm which will help you to put faces to names.

We maintain several different listservers, so you can have the communication experience and enjoy another level of Rotary Fellowship that is appropriate for your needs. We welcome you to select as many lists as you would like. The three most used lists are described below, followed by information on how to subscribe.
