North LA County Chapter -Inaugural Meeting

Paul Harris quote In 1911, Paul Harris, the founder of Rotary, wrote an article entitled “Rational Rotarianism” which can be summarized as follows: “Life in Rotary should be a rational mixture of business, civic activities, and good fellowship.” Rotary Means Business Fellowship was created to encourage Rotarians to network among themselves and to find ways to do business and support each other. An original intent of Rotary was for like-minded business professionals to amplify their fellowship and through association strengthen businesses as well as their communities. Rotarians in the 63 Rotary clubs of Northeast Florida District 6970 continue to build on those core principles put in place over 100 years ago. After all, who would you rather do business with?

 

Rotary Means Business (RMB) encourages Rotarians to support the success of their fellow Rotarians by doing business with them, and by referring others to them.

We share a common belief that we should honor the roots of our great worldwide organization and support one another in business guided by the core principles of Rotary.

RMB provides a structure to bring business relationships back into Rotary in a way that supplements rather than competes with the service and fellowship aspects of our clubs.  When we are able to provide opportunities to strengthen the businesses represented in Rotary, our members will be stronger, thus creating stronger clubs.  In addition, we encourage Rotarians to bring guest to these meetings, which WILL increase the membership of your individual clubs.

Stronger clubs automatically mean Rotary itself is stronger, The Rotary Foundation is stronger, and therefore we are able to do more to make our communities stronger.
