“Service Above Self” and “One Profits Most Who Serves Best”
A One-Sentence Definition of Rotary
An organization of service-minded individuals united worldwide, who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and peace in the world.
The Mission Statement for Rotary International
“Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.”
The Object of Rotary
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 service;
- High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying by each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
- The application of the ideal of service in every Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life;
- The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world of fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
Rotary’s Four-Way Test
Of the things we think, say or do:
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
The Five Avenues of Service
Club Service, Vocational Service, Community Service, Youth Service, and International Service are Rotary’s philosophical cornerstones and the foundation of club activity.

Every member is encouraged to participate in one of our committees or initiatives. Committees include, but are not limited to, Community Service, International Service, Vocational Service, Program, Reading and Tutoring, Peace, Anti-Racism (ARC), Membership Development, Special Events, Public Image, and Social. Engagement in committees is a wonderful way to build fellowship and develop skills. The club elects four officers (president, vice- president, secretary, treasurer) annually. The immediate past president also serves on the Board. The vice-president serves as president in the succeeding year.

Throughout the year, members enjoy special activities and social gatherings arranged by the club. Each opportunity provides time for members to get to know each other better and experience a new aspect of our community.
