What is Rotary?
Rotary is an international organization of business and professional people with approximately 1.2 million Rotarians belonging to more than 32,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas.
When one joins Rotary, he/she becomes a part of a world wide fraternity. You can travel throughout most of the world and find a Rotary club with easy distance. Rotarians will welcome you warmly, even though the language me be different, the food unusual, and the location far from home.
Rotary club members are part of a diverse group of professional leaders working to address various community and international service needs. Through community service and other means, Rotary club members help promote peace and understanding throughout the world. Our members are our most important asset. They are the force that allows Rotary to carry out its many humanitarian efforts and achieve its mission.
You are the representative of your vocation in this club and any contribution of a educational value pertaining to that vocation must naturally come to us through you. On the other hand, you become the ambassador from us to your classification, and it becomes your duty to carry the ideals and principles of service to your work.
The club is the cornerstone of Rotary, where the most meaningful work is carried out.
What Rotarians get out of Rotary depends largely on what they put into it. By participating in club service projects, you learn about our clubs involvement in local and international projects and you can volunteer your time and talents where they are most needed.
