Partner Program

Being a club president can be even more rewarding if your Rotary partner (spouse/significant other) understands your challenges and becomes part of your success. Partners are invited to PETS to learn what to expect during the coming Rotary year, and a special program has been created for them. To take advantage of this free opportunity, they need to be registered as a partner at the PETS website Click Here to Register

 

Here is a summary of the 2022 Partners Program:

Friday, February 25, 2022

This program will not be similar to sitting through lectures in college. Through the Southwest PETS Partner Program, you will have a unique opportunity to meet other partners. This will offer you the opportunity to make new friends and establish a network of people who will understand you if you reach out for assistance/advice. We will share some of our experiences when we were in your shoes, an opportunity to serve and help your partner. The goal is to have you know more about Rotary International, its programs and diversity.
