Through the work of individual Rotary clubs, and through the programs of Rotary International and the Rotary Foundation, Rotary is making the world a better place. SERVICE-DRIVEN Rotary is service-driven. Belonging to a Rotary club gives men and women an organized outlet for contributing to their community. Founded in 1905, Rotary is the world's first service organization. The Rotary motto is "Service Above Self" - Rotary concerns itself with truth, fairness, improved relations between people and world peace. The avenues of Rotary service include community and international volunteerism through club activity and the promotion of ethics in all vocations. Rotary members meet weekly to plan service. Rotary clubs are autonomous and determine their own service projects based on local needs and the interests and abilities of members. Rotary clubs are non-religious, nongovernmental and open to every race, culture and creed. Club membership represents a cross-section of local business and professional leaders. |
