Experience Rotary Rotary membership gives men and women an opportunity to forge new friendships and share the rewards of helping others through volunteer service. The Rotary club meeting is a chance for members to socialize, network, and plan service activities based on local needs and their own interests and talents. In addition, Rotary clubs often team up with clubs in other countries to carry out international service projects, enhancing members’ cross-cultural understanding. Rotary clubs are open to people of every race, culture, and creed.

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?
