Why Join Your Local Rotary Club?
Networking - An original goal of Rotary was to allow club members to meet periodically and enlarge their circle of business and professional acquaintances. As members of the oldest service club in the world, Rotarians represent a cross-section of their community's business owners, executives, managers, political leaders, and professionals - people who make decisions and influence policy.
Service - Club members have many opportunities for humanitarian service, both locally and internationally. Service programs address concerns such as health care, hunger, poverty, illiteracy, and the environment. Rotarians regularly experience the fulfillment that comes from giving back to the community.
Friendship - Rotary
was founded on fellowship, a cornerstone that continues to attract
members today. Rotarians enjoy camaraderie with like-minded
professionals, and club projects provide opportunities to develop
enduring friendships. Club members who travel have friendly contacts in
almost every city of the world. Family - Rotary sponsors some
of the world's largest exchange and educational programs. Rotary clubs
provide innovative training opportunities and mentoring for young
leaders, and they involve family members in a wide range of social and
service activities. Ethics - Encouraging
high ethical standards and respect for all worthy vocations has been a
hallmark of Rotary from its earliest days. In their business and
professional lives, Rotarians abide by The Four-Way Test: Of the things
we think, say or do Leadership - Rotary
is an organization of successful professionals. Team-building,
fundraising, public speaking, planning, organization, and communication
are just some of the leadership skills that club members can exercise
and enhance. Being a Rotary leader provides further experience in
motivating, inspiring, and guiding others. If you would like to know more about Rotary please contact Mike Dixon via email. Please click on his name in the member directory on our homepage at:
