What is a Rotarian? A Rotarian is a person who... Digs wells from which he/she will never drink; Vaccinates children he/she will never meet; Restores eyesight for those he/she will never see; Builds housing he/she will never live in; Educates children he/she will never know; Plants trees he/she will never sit under; Feeds hungry people regardless of race or politics; Makes crawlers into walkers half-way around the world; Knows real happiness that, as Albert Einstein once said, "Can only be found by helping others."

Rotary is an organization of business and professional leaders united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. In more than 160 countries worldwide, approximately 1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than 30,000 Rotary clubs. Rotary club membership represents a cross-section of the community's business and professional men and women. The world's Rotary clubs meet weekly and are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds. The main objective of Rotary is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians develop community service projects that address many of today's most critical issues, such as children at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, illiteracy, and violence. They also support programs for youth, educational opportunities and international exchanges for students, teachers, and other professionals, and vocational and career development. The Rotary motto is Service Above Self.
