Rotary is a worldwide organization of more than 1.2 million business, professional, and community leaders. Members, known as Rotarians, provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. Clubs are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds. As signified by the motto Service Above Self, Rotary’s main objective is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world.

Did you know…
that November is Rotary Foundation Month. The mission of the Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. It is supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the Foundation. Programs funded through the Foundation include PolioPlus which is dedicated to eradicating polio, scholarships for undergraduate and graduate study in a wide range of academic fields, and grants to serve the wide variety of projects Rotarians are doing in their own communities and around the world.
