Membership is by invitation only. Members are chosen to represent their respective businesses or professions and function in some executive capacity or with some discretionary authority. The "Classification Principle" ensures that our membership includes those from most every worthy business or profession in our community. In this way a Rotary Club becomes a good cross-section of the community.
What Is Expected?
Rotary is built upon fellowship and friendship which depends upon being at the meeting.
A Rotarian is expected to attend the meetings.
It is understood that among busy people a problem of attendance may arise. If members miss meetings they are privileged to "make-up" at any club in the free world. The time and place of meetings are listed in the various Rotary Directories.
Needless to say, each make-up affords Rotarians a greater opportunity to broaden their acquaintance and to bring back to their club information and ideas that can improve club operations and programs.
Each member must attend 60% of the regular meetings at his home club during each half year unless exempted by the club's Board of Directors.
The Rotarian & Service
The emphasis of Rotary is upon creating with the individual the IDEAL OF
SERVICE . Rotarians are encouraged and supported in their personal activities
in civic, youth services, and public service organizations. It is from the
club that most members draw help in their support of worthy service activities.
An example of such service activities is the Rotary Polio Plus Project where
Rotarians around the world raised millions of dollars to purchase polio vaccines
to stamp out polio throughout the world.
Rotarians --men and women alike -- volunteer their efforts to improve the
quality of life in their own community and beyond its borders. The world's
Rotary clubs meet weekly and are non-political, non-religious and open to
all cultures, races, and creeds. Club membership represents a cross-section
of local business and professional leaders. There are approximately 1.2 million
Rotarians in 28,000 Rotary clubs in 155 countries and 35 geographical regions
worldwide.
First admitted in 1987, women are the fastest-growing segment of Rotary's
membership. There are currently more than 1,600 women club presidents. Women
have also rapidly assumed regional leadership roles.
The Rotary Four-Way Test
The code of business ethics known as the Rotary 4-Way Test was written by club member Herbert J. Taylor in 1932 and adopted by Rotary International in 1943. It sums up the basics of what Rotary stands for.
"Of the Things We Think, Say or Do:
1. Is it the Truth?
2. Is it Fair to All Concerned?
3. Will it Build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
4. Will it be Beneficial to All Concerned?"
