Rotary is an organization of business and professional leaders united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. In more than 160 countries worldwide, approximately 1.3 million Rotarians belong to more than 40,000 Rotary clubs. 

Local Rotary club membership represents a cross-section of every community's business and professional men and women. The world's Rotary clubs meet weekly and are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds. 

Mission:
The main objective of Rotary is service -- in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians develop community service projects that address many of today's most critical issues, such as children at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, illiteracy, and violence. We also support programs for youth, educational opportunities and international exchanges for students, teachers, and other professionals, and vocational and career development. The Rotary motto is Service Above Self. 
Our members build life-long friendships through fellowship, and obtain personal fulfillment through providing volunteer service to others.

Object of Rotary:
The object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
1 - The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service
2 - High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
3 - The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business and community life, and
4 - The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
