- Friends or business associates
- Engaging guest speakers who are unable to join your club.
- RI or Rotary Foundation program alumni who would contribute to a local Rotary club but who live outside of your town, district or country.
- Relocating Rotarians who haven’t established contact with another club.
- Family members living outside your club area who are familiar with Rotary’s Service Above Self ideal.
