What is the expectation of attendance?
Gyro has no minimum required attendance. We are very flexible! Come as often as you enjoy and are able. Gyro is all about fun and friendship.

We also have some snowbird members who are away for several months at a time.
What level of commitment is expected?
You can have as much or as little involvement as you want. Some members are interested in leadership. This is strictly voluntary; there is no pressure whatsoever. Some members enjoy traveling to other club’s installations and partaking in the international friendship of the organization. This too is optional.
