Why Should I Join?
Not only does Rotary offer its members hundreds of ways to get involved and give back both locally and internationally; being a Rotarian also means we are constantly learning, meeting new people, and developing life-long friendships.
What We Stand By
Rotary’s motto, Service Above Self, exemplifies the hu- manitarian spirit of the organization’s more than 1.2 million members.
Rotarians are asked to follow the four-way test:
Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
Part of a Global Community
Strong fellowship among Rotarians and meaningful community and international service projects characterize Rotary worldwide.
Rotary enjoys a rich and sometimes complex tradition and organizational structure, with many programs that can be confusing to new and even not-so-new members. The following pages offer a basic Rotary education — the fun- damental knowledge that will make every member better in- formed about Rotary and proud to be a Rotarian.
Rotary International, the world’s first service club organization, is made up of 33,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas. Its members form a global network of busi- ness, professional, and commu- nity leaders who volunteer their time and talents to serve their communities and the world.
