WHAT IS ROTARY?

 

     Officially Rotary is defined as an organization of business and professional men and women united worldwide, which provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations and helps build goodwill and peace in the world.

     Specifically, a Rotary club is composed of business and professional people in a community who have accepted the ideal of service as a basis for attaining fulfillment in their personal, vocational and community lives.  In fact, the ideal of service exemplified in the motto Service Above Self is the thread that runs throughout the Rotary World and unites like-minded people in thought and action, no matter in what part of the world they live.

 

 

WHAT IS A ROTARIAN?

 

     Besides working in the club, a Rotarian is encouraged to serve as an individual wherever there is an opportunity.  For example because each Rotarian is a business or professional person (or retired), business becomes more than merely the basis of livelihood; it becomes a way of serving competently and unselfishly.

     Moreover, a Rotarian strives to make use of opportunities for service in business or in the community.  Since business is interdependent, opportunities exist in cooperation with other Rotarians to improve business conditions through the advancement of understanding, goodwill and high ethical standards.
