My church, the local public radio station, CASE (Council for Advancement and Support of Education) and…Rotary!
I always thought of Rotary as the haven of stodgy old businessmen, but I was approached to join, went to a couple of meetings, and joined. I’m female, in my 40s, work in higher ed, and the first time anyone refers to me as stodgy, I’ll commit suicide.

At first, I was inclined to say none, but I guess AAA counts - but is it an organization, or just a business that provides various services for a yearly fee?
My wife is a teacher, and is involved in a veritable alphabet soup of orgs.
I’m a member of WATCH (and was once even an officer), which is an organization for former participants of Quiz Champion (an English quiz show for Korean high school students). Sadly the quiz show is no longer running and the organization has basically fallen apart, but back in the day we did a lot of random stuff (volunteer translating, planting trees on Arbor Day, holding college fairs for high school students, book clubs, etc).
I suppose I’m a member of the Korea University alum here at UChicago, although organization is too grand a term for our humble gathering.
That should, of course, be "rolls off the tongue, but “rolls of the tongue” might likely be the result when trying to spit it out. I hope you don’t have to answer the phone there.
