Join Worcester Vigornia Rotary Club 

Our members ...

  • Love being Rotarians – it's fun… it's social
  • Think 'we' before 'me'
  • Impact on other people's lives locally and worldwide
  • Are all shapes, sizes, ages and backgrounds
  • Make the most of their time, Rotary merges into work, family and social lives

Are we typical Rotarians ? - YES

 

'Service before self' is so satisfying

'Many of us work full time and all of us have other commitments, yet we've managed to join Rotary to help people who don't have the resources to lead the full lives that we do.  We've extended our circle of friends, met people we might otherwise not have met, done things we might otherwise not have done.  Rotary is rewarding on so many levels, each of us have our own reason for having joined.  The phrases most used are 'to make a difference' or 'to give something back', Rotarians use the words 'service above self' sometimes referred to as a strapline, but actually, a powerful reality that builds trust between people – let's continue to do that together.' Polly Robinson, President 2011-2012
