The Object of the 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:
1. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
2. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
3. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life;
4. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
RI President Ron Burton selected the theme Engage Rotary, Change Lives to inspire and unite Rotarians around the world in this coming year. What do these words say to you? The work of Rotary happens in each and every club in our District by Rotarians. It is through Rotarians and Rotary clubs that we will Engage Rotary, Change Lives. My challenge to you is to energize your club to be stronger in the coming year as you Engage Rotary, Change Lives.
What makes us unique as Rotarians is how we build lifelong relationships, in our clubs and around the world. We do what is right and connect diverse perspectives in reaching a solution. We use our business and professional leadership skills, connections and resources to solve problems. And we are persistent in achieving our goals. The success of Rotary is in our hands and the greatest days for our organization are just ahead. The Rotary clubs of District 5190 are active in so many projects and efforts to empower youth, ensure health, advance literacy, assist those in need, and build peace—whether in a local middle school and across the globe. We are “this close” to ending polio as we will keep our promise to the children of the world. And we are launching into a whole new era with our Rotary Foundation which will give us the chance to make a more significant and sustainable impact on major problems in the world through our 6 areas of focus, while providing support and flexibility for the projects our clubs want to conduct in our local communities.
It is a great time to be a Rotarian! As we Engage Rotary Change Lives this year, be prepared for your own life to be the one that is changed the most.
