View our information on The Object of Rotary, The Four-Way Test, The Rotary Foundation, Paul Harris Fellow, RI President's Message.

The Object of Rotary:
The object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise.
First, the development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service.
Second, 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.
Third, the application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business and community life.
Fourth, the advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional men and women, united in the ideal of service.

Four Avenues of Service:
Based on the Object of Rotary ~ Rotary's commitment to Service Above Self has been channeled through the Four Avenues of Service, which form the foundation of club activity.
Club Service ~ The Cornerstone of all our Service ~ focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the effective functions of the club by serving on committees, proposing new members and meeting attendance requirements.
Vocational Service ~ The Soul of Rotary ~ encourages Rotarians to serve others through their vocations and to practice high ethical standards.
Community Service  ~ The Heart of Rotary ~ covers the projects and activities the club undertakes to improve life in its community.
International Service ~ The Vision to Look Beyond Ourselves ~ encompasses actions taken to expand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the globe and to promote World Peace.

The Four-Way Test:

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.
 
From the earliest days of Rotary, Rotarians were concerned about high ethical standards in business and professional life. In 1932 Herbert Taylor, who later became Rotary International President, created the Four-Way Test when he was handling a company that was facing bankruptcy. This 24-word test for members to follow in their business and professional lives became the guide for all relations with dealers and customers. Adopted in 1943, The Four-Way Test has been translated into more than a hundred languages.

The Rotary Foundation:

The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.

The Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the Foundation who share its vision of a better world.


Paul Harris Fellows:

A Paul Harris Fellow is a distinction shared by men and women in more than one hundred nations, many of whom have made significant contributions to world peace and understanding.

When Paul P. Harris, the founder of Rotary, died in 1947, Rotarians the world over honored this remarkable man by creating this “living memorial” of Paul Harris Fellows.

Contributions made by Paul Harris Fellows make possible scholarships which advance the work of the Rotary Foundation, one of his favorite projects. Contributions also make possible various grant programs that fund World Community Service projects and local projects that are also supported by the Rotary Foundation.
The Rotary Foundation fosters better international understanding by granting scholarships to young men and women throughout the world for study outside their own countries, and by sponsoring exchange groups of young professionals who meet with and learn from their counterparts in other countries.
Anyone who furthers these efforts by contributing, or who has had given in his or her honor or memory, $1,000 to the Rotary Foundation, is named a Paul Harris Fellow.

A Sustaining Member is an individual who contributes or in whose name a minimum of $100 is contributed with the commitment to contribute a total of $1,000 within a ten year period. The Sustaining Member becomes a Paul Harris Fellow when the contribution totals $1,000.

Each Paul Harris Fellow receives a commemorative certificate, a PHF pin, and  medallion to be displayed.
