Rotary FAQs #02
What is Rotary?
ROTARY is a worldwide organisation of business, professional and community leaders, who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.
Rotarians commit to the premise of “Service above Self!”
When you think about the opportunities that being a Rotarian presents by that proposition don’t you think it’s imperative we all take time to keep our organisation fluid, relevant and dynamic?
Being fluid allows us to adapt to the ever-changing world in which we live.
Being fluid allows us to be aware of the requirements of our communities and to offer assistance to serve our communities. Being fluid gives us the chance to lead our communities as we address the challenges we face in our every-day lives.
Age is not the measure of relevancy in our communities.
The service we as Rotarians can provide is making sure we are relevant and aware of the needs of our local communities. We do this by ensuring that, as individuals and Clubs, we’re flexible and responsive to local, national and international needs.
Being dynamic is all about attitude.
By having our fingers on the pulse of community needs we can always react promptly to fill those needs with the experience and guidance that Rotarians can offer.
It’s important to remember we can only continue to serve while our communities are aware of our roles that we play.
It’s with this in mind that the branding and marketing of our Club becomes a powerful recognition tool.
