What is Rotary?
Rotary is a global network of community volunteers. Rotary club members are business, professional, and community leaders who meet regularly to plan and implement community service activities and network with other professionals. More than 1.2 million men and women in over 200 countries and geographical areas belong to over 33,000 Rotary clubs.
Benefits of Membership
Belonging to a Rotary club provides members with an opportunity to make a contribution to their own communities and to communities around the world. Members join Rotary for many different reasons - community involvement, personal development, professional networking, friendship – but the most important benefit is the satisfaction gained from making a real difference in the world.
PolioPlus, Rotary International’s most ambitious program to date, focuses on global immunization efforts and has played a leadership role with the World Health Organization, CDC, and UNICEF in bringing the world to the brink of polio eradication. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has contributed $355 million to Rotary to support PolioPlus activities.
