There are few places on the globe which do not have a Rotary club. Instant friends in both one's own community and in the world community.

10. Assistance When Traveling

.:. Because there are Rotary clubs everywhere, many a Rotarian who has needed a doctor, lawyer, hotel, advice, etc. while traveling has found one quickly through Rotary.

people who like people or who want to.

business and personal relationships.

16. Appreciation of Cultural Diversity-

Around the world, practically every religion, country, culture, race, creed, political persuasion, language, color and ethnic identity is found in Rotary. It is a cross section of the world's most prominent citizens from every background. Rotarians become aware of other cultures and learn to love and work with people everywhere. They become better citizens of their countries in the process.

17. Prestige-

Rotary members are prominent people. Leaders in business, the professions, art, government, sports, military, religion and all disciplines. Rotary is the oldest and most prestigious service club in the world. Its ranks are executives, managers, professionals . . . people who make decisions and influence policy. Not everyone is invited to join Rotary.

18. Nice People-

Rotarians above all are nice people ... the nicest people on the face of the earth. They are important people who adhere to the policy that while it is nice to be important, it is more important to be nice.

19. The Absence of "Official Creed"-

Rotary has no secret handshake, no secret policy, no official creed, no secret meeting or rituals. It is an open
society of men and women who simply believe in helping others.

20. The Opportunity to Serve-

Rotary is a service club. Its business is mankind. Its product is service. Rotarians provide community service to both the local and international communities. This is the best reason perhaps for becoming a Rotarian. The chance to do something for somebody else, to sense the self-fulfillment which comes in the process and, the return to one's own life. Rotarians believe in service above self ... it is richly rewarding.
