Rotary members have an opportunity to build lifelong friendships and experience the personal fulfillment of providing volunteer service to others. Working within local clubs and internationally through the Rotary Foundation , services are provided to children, youths, the elderly, the disabled and to a wide range of cultural, environmental and community projects. Membership in Rotary is by invitation, but is not restricted in terms of gender, race, religion or nationality.
Rotary policy allows only one active member for each business and professional classification.
This system is intended to ensure that a wide cross section of the community is included in each local club. Members are expected to give of their time and to actively participate in club administration and fund raising projects.
