What is Rotary?

Fun, Fellowship, Networking and Service

Together, we see a world where people unite 

and take action to create lasting change across the globe,

in our communities, and in ourselves.”

Rotary is a global network of 1.2 million neighbours, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who come together to make positive, lasting change in communities at home and abroad.

Solving real problems takes real commitment and vision. For more than 115 years, Rotary members have used their passion, energy, and intelligence to take action on sustainable projects. From literacy and peace to water and health, we are always working to better our world, and we stay committed to the end.

Our motto: Service Above Self

For more than 110 years, our guiding principles have been the foundation of our values: service, fellowship, diversity, integrity, and leadership.

Rotarians apply The Four-Way Test, 
to the things we think, say and do
1- Is it the TRUTH?
2- Is it FAIR?
3- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
