What's Rotary?

  • ROTARY is an organization of business and professional leaders united worldwide, who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.
  • ROTARY is the world's first service club.  The first Rotary club was founded in Chicago, Illinois, USA on 23 February 1905.
  • ROTARY is some 1.2 million service-minded men and women belonging to more than 30,000 Rotary clubs in more than 160 countries worldwide.
  • ROTARIANS meet weekly for fellowship and interesting and informative programs dealing with topics of local and global importance.  Membership reflects a wide cross-section of community representation.
  • ROTARIANS plan and carry out a remarkable variety of humanitarian, educational, and cultural exchange programs that touch people's lives in their local communities and our world community.
  • ROTARY is The Rotary Foundation, which each year provides some US $90 million for international scholarships, cultural exchanges, and humanitarian projects large and small that improve the quality of life for millions of people.  Rotary is widely regarded as the world's largest private provider of international educational scholarships.  Since 1947, the Foundation has awarded more than $1.1 billion in humanitarian and educational grants, which are initiated and administered by local Rotary clubs and districts.
  • ROTARY is PolioPlus, Rotary's commitment to work with national and international health organizations on the goal of polio eradication by the year 2005, Rotary's 100th anniversary.  More than one billion children in developing nations have been immunized against polio through PolioPlus grants.
