MEMBER BENEFITS
|
Friendship. In an increasingly complex world, Rotary provides one of our basic needs: the need for friendship. It is one of the two reasons Rotary was founded in 1905.
|
Business Development. The second reason for Rotary’s origination was business development. Everyone needs to network. Rotary consists of a cross section of the business community, from all walks of life. Rotarians seek to help each other and collectively help others.
|
The Opportunity to Serve. Rotary is a service Club. Its motto is “Service Above Self”. Rotarians provide community service locally and internationally. This is perhaps the best reason for becoming a Rotarian: the chance to do something for somebody else and to experience the self-fulfilment that comes from the process. It is a richly rewarding activity.
|
The Development of Ethics. Rotarians practise a “Four Way Test”, a test that governs our ethical standards. Rotarians are expected to be ethical in business and personal relationships.
|
Personal Growth and Development. Membership of Rotary continues to provide opportunities for growth and education in human relations and personal development.
|
Fellowship. Every Rotary Club and District has fellowship activities that provide a diversion from business life. Conferences, conventions and assemblies also provide good entertainment in addition to information, education and service.
|
Continuing Education. Each week at Rotary there is a program designed to keep members informed about community, national and world events. Guest Speakers and timely topics are presented and discussed.
|
The People. Rotary is fun; the people make it an enjoyable experience!
|
The Absence of an Official Creed. Rotary does not have a secret handshake, or any secret policies or rituals. It is an open society of men and women who believe in helping others.
