Why explore Rotary? For starters, Rotary is neither a religious nor a political organization. The heart of Rotary is dedicated members, who share the ideals of service, friendship, diversity, integrity and leadership. Rotary clubs bring together people across generations who wish to create lasting change in the world, in their communities and in themselves.
You’ll meet interesting people from your community and tackle local and international issues that are important to you and your fellow club members. Your time, energy and passion to improve your world are all you need to get involved with Rotary. Visit www.rotary.org to learn more.
Area Rotary clubs meet in person or online, and there are also clubs for high schoolers (called Interact) as well as college students (called Rotaract). Why not join one of its clubs for a meeting and see what Rotary is all about?
