Rotary International is a community service club that attempts to bring together commercial leaders and professionals in an effort to promote better relationships, business practices and great support for the health and growth of the community. People who become members must adhere to strict standards due to the fact that the duty of service much greater than the individual and his or her wants. This organization is a secular one, which means that members and applicants will not be discriminated against as the result of gender, age, race or religion.
One can contact a Rotary club to inquire about membership but can only join a Rotary club only if invited. Currently, however, all interested parties with something of value to contribute can apply for membership. Rotary is a non-partisan, non-sectarian organization. It is open to business and professional leaders aged 18 and upwards, with no regard to economic status.
There are currently more than 1.2 million Rotarian's across the world. People who are a part of these clubs frequently attend social functions, which are typically held on a weekly basis. These are usually simple lunches, dinners or breakfast meetings at which activities and goals for the club are reviewed. These events can take place in public venues but they are more commonly held at lodges. Rotarian's offer scholarships and exchanges, programs to promote literacy and many other activities and resources for enriching the community.
High ethical standards are valued and promoted in business and all professional endeavors. Members recognize this as being away to further promote peace and health. They also value professions that supply worthiness to others.
Promoting increased international understanding is something else that Rotarian's do as well as increased unity and peace. They can do this through their massive, worldwide networks of professionals who hold memberships in different organization chapters. Each member is expected to hold the same service ideals.
The headquarters for Rotary International are situated in Evanston, Illinois. This club was established in the year 1905 and boast branches in many nations throughout the world as well as many different official languages. The founding Rotarian was Paul P. Harris.
