Why Should you Join Rotary?

In a world that moves too fast, Rotary gives you something real — people who know your name, remember your story, and save you a seat. Friendship is how we started in 1905, and it’s still why we meet every week. 

Rotary will teach you new skills, open your mind, and grow your heart — all while you’re out there making a difference. 

Raffles, “Happy Dollars,” surprise guest speakers, beach socials, service projects that make you smile — if we’re doing it, we’re making it fun.

Want to lead? Rotary is your playground. You’ll learn how to inspire, motivate, and rally people — even other leaders — to do big things together. 

 The best part of Rotary? Serving others. Whether it’s local kids, disaster relief, or clean water across the globe — we get to make life better for someone else. 

We use the 4-Way Test to guide how we treat others: Is it the truth? Is it fair? Will it build goodwill? Will it be beneficial to all concerned? Easy to remember, powerful to live. 

We’re in almost every country, connecting cultures and creating friendships across oceans. Rotary opens your mind (and maybe your passport). 

We’re fun. We’re kind. We’re the people who get things done. And we’ll make sure you feel welcome from day one. 

We’ve been networking since before it was trendy. From small-town shops to big business owners, our members have each other’s backs and love seeing one another succeed. 

Rotary is a global network of 1.4 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who unite to create lasting change—across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
With over 46,000 clubs worldwide, Rotary brings together people from all walks of life to exchange ideas, form meaningful connections, and take action on the most pressing issues affecting our world. 

Rotary’s mission is simple but powerful: to provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders. 

Each Rotary club is part of Rotary International, but decisions and projects are made locally—by members who know their community best. Members volunteer their time and talents to plan and participate in service projects, fundraisers, and initiatives that have a real and lasting impact. 

Rotary works to make a difference in key areas that change lives, including:

• Promoting peace
• Fighting disease
• Providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene
• Saving mothers and children
• Supporting education
• Growing local economies
• Protecting the environment

Being a Rotarian means more than attending meetings—it’s about building friendships, developing leadership skills, and making a difference. You’ll work alongside people who share your passion for service, connect with leaders locally and globally, and be part of projects that improve lives. 

 Service Above Self—three simple words that capture the spirit of Rotary and guide everything we do.
