President's Message

Hello friends and problem solvers.

I am honoured to accept the role as President of our great volunteer organization.
 
We are a community of people with diverse backgrounds and interests that come together to make great things happen. I hope that, like me, you feel the tremendous energy that comes from being part of something that is bigger than yourself by doing good in the world and here at home.

Rotary is about Service Above Self and we call ourselves “People of Action” for good reason.  It is my goal to harness the energy, skills and compassion that is in this club.
 
A great thank you goes to the chairs and volunteers on our committees - where the rubber meets the road real work happens. Please keep up the great work you are doing.

I’m very excited about our new Rotary year and to be hosting the Rotary World here in Calgary at the International Convention in June 2025.

I look forward to our time together and am proud to be a member of the Rotary Club of Calgary West.

Interview for Membership

The membership interview is not a competitive process, it is an opportunity to connect with existing club leaders and talk through what you hope to achieve from membership. Being a Rotarian is about more than joining your fellow club members for lunch every week — it’s about working to achieve positive outcomes for the community.

Annual Fees:   $375 for Membership, $250 for additional Family Member, $250 for Members under the Age of 40.
