Rotary is an organisation of business and
professional leaders united worldwide, who provide humanitarian
service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help
build goodwill and peace in the world.
Rotary is the world's first service club. The
very first Rotary Club was founded in Chicago on 23 February 1905.
Rotary has some 1.2 million service minded men
and women belonging to more than 28,000 Rotary clubs in virtually
every nation in the world.
Rotarians meet weekly for fellowship and
interesting and informative programs dealing with topics of local
and global importance. Membership reflects a wide cross-section of
community representation.
Rotarians plan and carry out a remarkable
variety of humanitarian, educational and cultural exchange programs
that touch people lives in their local communities and our world.
Rotary is the Foundation which each year
provides some US$90 million for international scholarships, cultural
exchanges, and humanitarian projects large and small. Rotary is
widely regarded as the world's largest non-government provider of
international educational scholarships.

Will it build goodwill and better
friendships?
-
Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
