Membership in Service Clubs provides the first rigorous assessment of the activities of Rotary, a global service organization founded in 1905 that implements projects and helps build goodwill
and peace throughout the world. Using data for a district, this book documents the reasons why club members, or Rotarians, join the organization, how the organization could further grow, the
amount of service provided in terms of volunteer hours, the funds raised by members for social projects, and the various types of projects members are involved in. The authors also feature
case studies of successful initiatives coupled with individual accounts of exemplary Rotarians.
