Who We Are |

Rotarians are community-minded people who work as a group to provide humanitarian services on a local, national and international level. Rotary is comprised of people who have achieved success in their business or professional fields and have made a commitment to "give back" to the community. Rotary membership is more than 1.2 million service-minded men and women who belong to over 31,000 clubs in more than 167 nations. These Rotary Club members volunteer their time to carry out a remarkable variety of humanitarian, educational, and cultural programs that touch people's lives locally and in our world community. The objective of Rotary Clubs throughout the world is simply to improve the quality of life for millions of people everywhere. To make all of its initiatives a reality, Rotary Clubs need people who want to make a difference ... people who are willing to exemplify the motto of Rotary: |
