Object of Rotary

The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of
worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:

FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of
the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's
occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal,
business, and community life;
FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace
through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the
ideal of service.

The Four-Way Test

"Of the things we think, say or do:
Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?”
