What is Rotary...
Rotary is a worldwide organization of business and professional leaders that provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world. Approximately 1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than 31,000 Rotary clubs located in 166 countries.
Rotarians are business and professional leaders who take an active role in their communities while greatly enriching their personal and professional lives. A Rotary club contains a diverse group of professional leaders from the community that the club serves.
Membership in a Rotary club offers a number of benefits:
- Effecting change within the community.
- Developing leadership skills.
- Gaining an understanding of, and having an impact on international humanitrarian issues.
- Developing relatrionships with community and business leaders
- Through Rotary's service programs, a Rotary club can have a significant effect on the quality of life in its community.
Rotary is not an exclusive club, but to protect the pure interests of Rotary and to avoid those out to exploit the purposes of Rotary, Rotary membership is by invitation only. If you would like to learn more about Rotary and its various service projects, contact us or come out to one of our meetings (check the newsletter).

- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
About Rotary International...
The original Rotary Club was organized in Chicago in February 1905, by Paul Harris, and attorney.
The name "Rotary" was chosen because the club met in rotation at each member's place of business.
From the beginning, the Rotary ideals of friendship, fellowship and service to others have spread worldwide.
The Rotary Foundation has developed over the years into the largest foundation of its kind, establishing, financing and supporting charitable causes throughout the world. The eradication of Polio has been one such focus of the Foundation.
