The Membership Committee would like to encourage our members to give a little back to Roton Point through volunteering time to serve on a committee or the Board of Directors. Although Roton Point has an excellent staff lead by our General Manager member volunteers are what give the Club its particular personality. We want to encourage, especially, some of the members who have recently purchased units to volunteer. New members' fresh ideas and perspectives are an integral part of Roton Point's mix. We have a lot of talent among us that could easily be put to work to make Roton even better!

Most of the various volunteer opportunities at the Club are manageable. Many committees meet only once a month, and often for only several months out of the year. Some volunteer positions involve planning one social event, and doing this with a friend is welcomed. Listed below are descriptions of several committees including time commitment, meeting days and times, and contact names and numbers. Please review these and see if one would interest you. If not, check for more listings in the next newsletter, as several more will be published then. Whatever you do, please remember that as owners we all share an interest in and responsibility to make Roton Point the best for all of us. It's our Club and we must all participate to keep it that way!
