Rotary Fellowships are autonomous, international groups of Rotarians, Rotarian spouses, and Rotaractors who join together to:
• Share a common interest in worthwhile recreational activities (sports, hobbies, etc.)
• Further their vocational development through acquaintance with others of the same profession
• Make new friends around the world
• Explore new opportunities for service
• Have fun and enhance their Rotary experience
In New Zealand the Fellowships many Rotarians belong to are: Yachting, Flying, Caravanning, Motorcycling, Home Hosting, Cricket plus the many that members belong to without the need for a NZ branch such as computer users, social media, magicians, amateur radio and more ... about 90+ more.
Any Rotarian can join and fees are usually minimal - an example is the Auckland Fleet of the International Yachting Fellowship of Rotarians where the fee is $30, you do not need a boat to joing - just an interest in boating, and there next activity is a weekend on an island in Auckland's Hauraki Gulf.
Rotarian Action Groups provide assistance and support to Rotary clubs and districts in planning and implementing service projects in their respective areas of expertise. They are autonomous, international groups organized by committed Rotarians, Rotarians’ spouses, and Rotaractors who have expertise in and a passion for a particular type of service.
