Why join Rotary

Recently I was in a group of Rotarians who were discussing why people join Rotary. Put forward were – to meet others – to make new friends-companionship – social life – one member dared to say to open up opportunities for new business clientele. However the over-riding reason was “The opportunity to serve others through a world wide service organization.”

Without question this should be the main reason for joining-all other activity is icing on the cake.

Rotary is first and foremost a service Club. Its business is mankind. Its product is service. Rotarians provide community service to both local and international communities. Rotary provides members with the opportunity 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. Rotary is richly rewarding.
