FUNDAMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ROTARY

Rotary is a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in Rotary clubs for the purpose of encouraging the practical application of the ideal of service, both individually and collectively. A Rotary club selects its members on a basis of classification of their vocations in order to assure a broad representation of the community's life and further the Object of Rotary.

Attendance at regular club meetings is required at least to a stated minimum for the continuance of membership so that acquaintance and fellowship may be developed as a first step toward lasting friendships. Rotary clubs provide members with opportunities to exemplify high ethical standards in their personal and business or professional activities. The religious and political beliefs of a Rotarian are regarded as being one's own concern.
