What
is Rotary
Rotary
International is a global network of service volunteers. It is the world's
largest service organisation for business and professional people, with some 1.2
million members operating in 166 countries world-wide.
There
are some 58,000 Rotarians in Great Britain and Ireland in 1,845 clubs, helping
those in need and working towards world understanding and peace. Its a
fulfilling role, and Rotarians can get involved as much or as little as their
time will allow.
But
there is much more. Clubs meet on a regular basis, which allows members to build
firm friendships. Every Rotarian has a right to attend any Club meeting anywhere
in the world, so there is always somewhere to go, and people to meet, wherever
business or leisure travel may take you.
Rotary club membership represents a cross-section of the
community's business and professional men and women. The world's Rotary clubs
meet weekly and are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races,
and creeds.
The main objective of Rotary is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians develop community service projects that address many of today's most critical issues, such as children at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, illiteracy, and violence. They also support programs for youth, educational opportunities and international exchanges for students, teachers, and other professionals, and vocational and career development. The Rotary motto is Service Above Self.
