Welcome to the Rotary Club of Comox Valley
This is not your typical Rotary club. We’re putting a new spin on Rotary. Keeping the vision, values and mission and formatting it in a way that is more meaningful to a new demographic of Rotarians. Our members are engaged and committed to the idea that together we can do more good, more often, in a way that fits our schedule.
We are a grassroots service organization and we continue partnering with innovative community groups to benefit the most vulnerable among us. We love to connect, have fun, and make a tangible difference in our community. We focus on improving the lives of people at risk, families and youth, and being responsible stewards of our local environment.
Jeremy Andersen, Current President

Corporate Membership Outreach Sign-Up
We would like to pitch corporate memberships to local businesses to help achieve our goal of increasing membership. Our membership committee has brainstormed a list of local businesses who we would like to approach. Our hope is to leverage our members’ connections in the community rather than ‘cold-calling’. You can sign up via the form in this post.
