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.

.

  1. The developement of acquaintance as a opportunity for service;
  2. High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
  3. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal business, and community life;
  4. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

 

 AVENUES OF SERVICE

  • VOCATIONAL SERVICE encourages Rotarians to serve others through their vocations and practice high ethical standards.

 

  • COMMUNITY SERVICE covers the projects and activities the club undertakes to improve life in its community.

 

  • INTERNATIONAL  SERVICE encompasses actions taken to expand Rotary's humanitarian reach around the globe and promote world understanding and peace.
