Rotary Global Fellowships

What’s a Global Fellowship?

Rotary Fellowships are independent, social groups that share a common passion. Being part of a fellowship is a fun way to make friends around the world. There are about 65 global fellowships. The largest is the Rotary Global History Fellowship, and another large one is the International Fellowship of Motorcycling Rotarians, with more than 2,100 members in 29 countries and 17 geographical chapters. Surprisingly, the International Golfing Fellowship doesn’t seem to have a chapter here. Shouldn’t some of our members establish one soon and host a tournament during our Centennial?

One of the more popular Rotary Global Fellowships in the Philippines is the International Yachting Federation of Rotarians. Of course, there is on for Flyers, too. One for Fishing, one for Chess, and even one for Checkers. It seems that there is an International Fellowship that could appeal to almost everyone of our members, such as Rotarian Doctors or Rotarian Lawyers. There’s even an International Fellowship of Honorary Consuls! Filipinos are know as one of the most hospitable people on earth, so many of our people should already be in the International Travel and Hosting Fellowship. Beer, wine, whisky? Yes, one each, of course! Scout’s honor!
