What is Rotary?

Rotary International 

Rotary is the world’s premier international humanitarian service organization.  We are a diverse global network of community, business, and professional leaders who address relevant social causes to change lives and build goodwill and peace at home and abroad. 

We work with the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and national governments toward our top goal of eradicating polio worldwide. 

We focus our time, energy, and efforts on service projects encompassing:

·         Peace and conflict prevention/resolution
·         Disease prevention and treatmenT
·         Water and sanitation
·         Maternal and child health
·         Basic education and literacy
·         Economic and community development             

The Four-Way Test applied around the world by Rotarians asks:

Of the things we think, say or do

1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
