Object of Rotary


While the original basis of Rotary was fellowship, service to others soon became its hallmark. Each Club determines its own service activities, which it channels through four Avenues of Service - Club Service, Vocational Service, Community Service, and International Service. These avenues are based on the four-part Object of Rotary :

The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
  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 persons united in the ideal of service.
