Who We Are
What is Rotary?
Rotary is a global network of community volunteers.
Rotary club members are business, professional, and community leaders in your locality who meet regularly to plan and implement community service activities and network with other professionals. For those interested, members can also choose to become involved in international humanitarian service efforts. More than 1.2 million men and women in over 200 countries and geographical areas belong to over 33,000 Rotary clubs.
Rotary builds international understanding through scholarships, exchange programs, and humanitarian grants. Throughout the world, Rotary clubs participate in a broad range of educational, intercultural, and humanitarian activities designed to improve the lives of others. What is a Rotarian? Rotarians are leaders in business or a profession and are leaders in their community. They are persons of the highest ethical standards, and they practice those ethics in their business and personal life. They strive to benefit all in every interpersonal relationship. The Rotary motto is: "service above self", and every Rotarian is judged by this creed.
