Several clubs have appointed a Family of Rotary Officer who is probably carrying out the job that may have been done previously by an  Almoner or Welfare Officer.
As we move forward into the 21st Century, life styles are changing and Rotary has responded to this change by creating a job which has a far wider remit. However, this sits very necely as part of the Membership Services responsibilities within the Club. The concept will help to ensure Rotary's continued presence as a vital instrument of service inthe centry ahead. The objective is to encourage clubs to care for Rotarians, their families, and members of the larger Rotary family, thereby strengthening clubs and instilling a sense of integrity, tolerance and unselfishness in the next generation.
Specifically, the Family of Rotary is:

-

-

-
