Satellite clubs provide a possible option for creating new Rotary clubs with a satellite club functioning as a short-term, transitional step on the way to becoming a full, independent Rotary club. However, satellite clubs may choose to continue as a satellite club and remain linked to a host Rotary club.
Satellite clubs give community members and Rotarians the chance to make a positive difference in a club environment that often differs from their local Rotary club. Like all Rotary clubs, satellite clubs hold regular meetings, have bylaws and a board, and get involved in community service projects.
Satellite clubs can also have e-members to ensure the greatest flexibility possible, but all members help to develop, deliver and evaluate projects as fits with their interests and lifestyles.
