Here's a fast and easy tip for helping the environment while saving Rotary some money, switch your Rotary Magazine from mail delivery to online digital format. Simply go to this link: https://www.rotary.org/en/rotary-magazine and scroll down to the bottom of the page. Follow the directions in the blue box section entitled "Subscribe to Rotary magazine". There, you will be directed to a simple name & address form to switch your subscription from paper to digital.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there advantages to going digital?
Absolutely! First, you are helping the environment, saving trees, reducing pollution due to processing and transportation and reducing landfill when the paper magazines are disposed of. Second, you save Rotary International considerable money in materials, printing and distribution. Third, the digital editions are easily searched for topics of interest and old issues can be viewed as well.
Do I save money?
No. Rotary charges $1 US to members on the semiannual bill which is a small fraction of the actual cost of producing the magazine. That fee will continue whichever format the user selects.

No. Rotary simply needs your name, address and email on the form. Member ID is optional and you do not need to be logged into Rotary.
