Citizenship in the World: Every
Rotarian wears a pin that says "Rotary International." There are few
places on the globe that do not have a Rotary club. Every Rotarian is
welcome - even encouraged - to attend any of the 29,000 clubs in 194
nations and geographical regions. This means instant friends in both one's
own community and in the world community.
- Assistance when
Traveling: Because there are Rotary clubs everywhere, many a Rotarian
in need of a doctor, lawyer, hotel, dentist, advice, etc., while traveling
has found assistance through Rotary
- Entertainment:
Every Rotary club and district has parties and activities that provide
diversion in one's business life. Rotary holds conferences, conventions,
assemblies, and institutes that provide entertainment in addition to
Rotary information, education, and service.
- The Development of
Social Skills: Every week and at various events and functions, Rotary
develops one's personality, social skills and people skills. Rotary is for
people who like people.
- Family Programs:
Rotary provides one of the world's largest youth exchange programs; high
school and college clubs for future Rotarians; opportunities for spouse
involvement; and a host of activities designed to help family members in
growth and the development of family values.
- Vocational Skills:
Every Rotarian is expected to take part in the growth and development of
his or her own profession or vocation; to serve on committees and to teach
youth about one's job or vocation. Rotary helps to make one a better
doctor, lawyer, teacher, etc.
- The Development of
Ethics: Rotarians practice a 4-Way Test that governs one's ethical
standards. Rotarians are expected to be ethical in business and personal
relationships.
- Cultural Awareness:
Around the world, practically every religion, country, culture, race,
creed, political persuasion, language, color, and ethnic identity is found
in Rotary. It is a cross section of the world's most prominent citizens
from every background. Rotarians become aware of their cultures and learn
to love and work with people everywhere. They become
better citizens of their
countries in the process.
