Rotary is a service organization comprised of community leaders of various professions dedicated to humanitarian causes locally and throughout the world. Rotary International and it's foundation The Rotary Foundation has helped millions of people in hundreds of countries fight poverty and hunger, provide clean water, improve literacy, promote goodwill and peace, and much more.
Rotarians are instrumental in bringing about the eradication of the killer disease; Polio. Locally Rotary is a place of fellowship and informative meetings and opportunities to provide service close to home.
Rotary is especially involved with the world's youth. The largest Youth Exchange in the world is sponsored by local Rotarians. Scholarships such as the Ambassadorial Scholarship and the World Peace and Conflict Resolution Fellowship help thousands of young people learn about other cultures and foster peace and understanding.
Simply put, Rotary is an organization that is out to do "good" in the world. Rotarians warmly welcome visitors to their meetings. Attend one in or near your community to really find out, "What is Rotary".
