| 1. Friendship. In an increasingly complex world, Rotary
provides one of the most basic human needs: the need for friends and
fellowship. It is one of the two reasons why Rotary began in 1905.
|
8. Continuing Education. Each week at Rotary there is a program designed to keep members informed as to what is going on in the community, the nation and the world. Different speakers, different topics. | |
| 2. Business Development and
Networking. The second original reason for
Rotary's beginning. Everyone needs to network. Rotary consists of a
cross-section of every business in the community. Its members come from
all walks of life. Rotarians help one another, and collectively help
others.
|
9. Fun. Rotary is fun. A lot of fun. Each meeting is fun. The club projects are fun; social activities are fun; and service to others is fun. | |
| 3. Personal Growth and Development. Membership in Rotary
continues one's growth and education in human relations and personal
development.
|
10. Public Speaking. Rotary develops confidence and skill in public communication skills. | |
| 4. Leadership Development. Rotary is an organization of leaders and successful people. Serving in Rotary positions is like a college education in Leadership: learning how to motivate, influence and lead other leaders. | 11. Citizenship in the World. Every Rotarian wears a pin that
says "Rotary International". And every Rotarian is welcomed, in fact
encouraged to attend any of over 31,000 clubs in over 166 nations in the
world. In fact, there are few places on the globe which do not have a
Rotary club. Rotarians find instant friends in both your own community
and anywhere in the world.
|
|
| 5. Citizenship in the Community. Membership in a Rotary club
makes one a better community citizen. The average Rotary club consists
of many of the most active citizens of any community.
|
12. Assistance when traveling. Because there are Rotary clubs everywhere, many a Rotarian who has needed a doctor, lawyer, hotel, dentist, advice, etc. while traveling, has found someone quickly through Rotary. | |
| 6. Entertainment:
Every Rotary club and district has parties and activities that provide
diversion in one's business life. Rotary hold conferences and
conventions locally and internationally that provide entertainment in
addition to Rotary information, education and service. Spouses and
families are welcome.
|
13. Family Programs: Rotary provides one of the world's largest youth exchange programs; high school and college clubs for future Rotarians, many opportunities for spouse involvement. | |
| 7. Prestige:
Rotary members are prominent people: leaders of business, the professions,
art, government, sports, military, religion, and all disciplines. Rotary
is the oldest and most prestigious service club in the world. It's
ranks include executives, managers; professional people who make decisions
and influence policy.
|
14. The Opportunity to Serve: Rotary is a service club. Its business is mankind. Its product is service. Rotarians provide community service to both local and international communities. This is perhaps the best reason for becoming a Rotarian; the chance to do something for somebody else and to sense the self-fulfillment that comes in the process and return of that satisfaction to one's own life. | |
