What is A Rotary Club?

Individual Rotary clubs belong to Rotary International. Individual members, or Rotarians, belong to a club. The club is where most of Rotarians' meaningful service work is carried out. Clubs can be engaged not only in their communities, but also internationally. Rotary International is also present in most social networking sites. What Rotarians get out of Rotary depends largely on what they put into it.   By Rotary International...

We identify community needs locally, nationally and overseas, then leverage our resources to enable solutions.  Naturally, this is why the Club relies heavily on its members and community support to ahcieve its goals.  New members bring new energy, resouces, and generally help the Club to achieve much more.  Whether a member is participating in a Club project, creates a project that the Club/Board agrees to support or the Club (as a whole) supports The Rotary Foundation, there are many ways that we can Serve the Community.

There are many ways to look at the community servie projects that are conducted by a Rotary Club, and for our purposes here we have chosen to ensure that we are Serving the needs of groups of people of all ages; albeit, in a multitude of ways.
