What is Rotary

The Rotary Motto is "Service Above Self."

The main objective of Rotary is service

in the community and throughout the world.

Rotarians build goodwill and peace, provide humanitarian service, and encourage high ethical standards in all vocations.

Without sounding pompous, it is difficult to explain in a few sentences just what Rotary is and what it does both in the local community and on the world stage. This page is our attempt to answer the question :-

WHAT IS ROTARY

********************.

Rotary consists of people from all political persuasions and none;

of all religious opinions and none;

from most, if not all, of the countries of the world.

We meet together with a common bond of fellowship and good will.

Each local club is made up, in the main, of business and professional persons,

dedicated to service above self and the promotion of peace throughout the world

By association, education and fellowship.

Membership of Rotary is by invitation.

The main characteristics of a Rotarian are honesty and integrity,

in their business and professional life.

High ideals are the trade mark of Rotary.

Our members are privileged to be caretakers of the movement.

They are charged to promote Rotary and to put into Rotary some of their talents.

We wear a little cogwheel badge, the logo of Rotary international,

it's 24 cogs signifies that the wearer is a member of Rotary 24 hours a day.

Each member is a cog in the Rotary wheel. Each club is a collection of cogs,

each meshing with the other.

Each District is a drive shaft that holds the clubs together as a part of the Rotary machine. When that machine is fully serviced and working to its full potential it is a powerful engine for change in the world.

ROTARY OUR VISION

By the extension of Rotary, we can encourage people of good will, in all spheres of life,

in all the countries of the world, to help improve the conditions of the poor,

educate children to avoid drugs, improve the health of the sick

and help eradicate diseases such as Polio.

We can and do help the blind recover their sight

and bring clean drinking water to those in need.

Rotary's action and education program

may one day help to influence the governments of the world

to stop making war

and make plans for peace and the protection of our environment.
