Rotary is founded on principles developed over the years to provide members with a strong, common purpose and direction. They serve as a foundation for our relationships with each other and the action we take in the world.
The object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise.
We channel our commitment to service at home and abroad through five 'Avenues of Service', which are the foundation of club activity. >>
