The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
- The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for server;
- High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
- The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business and community life;
- The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons unified in the ideal of service.
Rotary is a global network of community volunteers. Its members are business and professional leaders who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.

How to Become a Rotarian
Membership in a Rotary club is by invitation only. Clubs meet weekly for fellowship & present interesting program speakers dealing with topics of local and global importance.
The real work of Rotary takes place before and after the meetings when Rotarians plan and carry out a remarkable variety of humanitarian and educational service projects that benefit people in their local communities and around the world.
