Why Join Rotary?

WHY JOIN ROTARY?

“For those who want to feel connected, Rotary helps give us a sense of community. For those wishing they could expand their business contacts, Rotary offers unbeatable networking opportunities. For those who are lonely, it is a wellspring of friendship and support. For those on the fast track, it provides tools and opportunities to help you become a better leader. For those who love to travel, it’s like pulling into a strange town almost anywhere on earth and finding the welcome light illuminated on the front porch.”

The Rotary pin on your lapel gives the following message:

I am reliable

I am available

I listen to you

I give more than I take

I add value

Service Above Self

For more than 100 years, this motto has served as the underlying motif of Rotarians' efforts to carry out humanitarian service, promote high ethical standards, and work for international understanding and peace. As with anything that has become an innate part of our lives, it is easy to take this motto for granted. Service Above Self was chosen as our club's motto, ever keeping in focus the true meaning of Service Above Self, as we renew our commitment to this timeless message of compassion and generosity of spirit.
Quotes to Ponder

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. –Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Your own financial security depends far more than you may think on the financial, physical and spiritual health of others in your community, our nation, our world. When you share your good fortune by donating your money, time and talent to charity, you help create a stronger economy and a healthier, safer world. So give generously to education, your church, social-service agencies, the arts, medical research -- whatever you value most. It feels wonderful, it's the ultimate in enlightened self-interest and it's the right thing to do. –Knight Kiplinger
Rotary’s 4-Way Test

Of all the things we think, say or do:

Is it the TRUTH?

Is it FAIR to all concerned?

Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

Will it be BENEFICIAL to ALL CONCERNED?
