Why
join a local Rotary club?
Professional Networking
A founding principle of Rotary was to meet periodically to enjoy
camaraderie and enlarge one's circle of business and professional
acquaintances. As the oldest service club in the world, Rotary club
members represent a cross-section of the community's owners, executives,
managers, political leaders, and professionals, people who make
decisions and influence policy.
Service Opportunities
Club members have many opportunities for humanitarian service, both
locally and internationally. Service programs address such concerns as
health care, hunger, poverty, illiteracy, and the environment. Rotarians
experience the fulfillment that comes from giving back to the community.
International
Awareness
With
more than 31,000 Rotary clubs in over 160 countries, Rotarians gain an
understanding of humanitarian issues through international service
projects and exchange programs. One of Rotary's highest objectives is to
build goodwill and peace throughout the world.
Friendship
Rotary was founded on fellowship, an idea that remains a major
attraction of membership today. Club members enjoy the camaraderie with
like-minded professionals, and club projects offer additional
opportunities to develop enduring friendships. Rotary club members who
travel have friendly contacts in almost every city in the world.
Good
Citizenship
Weekly Rotary club programs keep members informed about what is taking
place in the community, nation, and world, and motivated to make a
difference.
Family
Foundations
Rotary sponsors some of the world's largest youth exchange, educational
exchange, and scholarship programs. Rotary clubs provide innovative
training opportunities and mentoring for young leaders and involve
family members in a wide range of social and service activities.
