WHAT IS ROTARY?
         Rotary club members are business and professional leaders who volunteer in their communities and promote world understanding and peace.  Rotary's 31,000 clubs in more than 165 countries and regions encourage high ethical standards and carry out humanitarians projects to address such issues as poverty, health, hunger, education, and the environment.
 
            Founded in Chicago in 1905 as the world's first volunteer service organization, Rotary quickly expanded around the globe.  Clubs meet weekly for fellowship to discuss local and global topics.  Clubs are nonreligious, nongovernmental and open to every race, culture, and creed.
