What is Rotary?

AN INTRODUCTION TO ROTARY
Rotary International is a global network
of service volunteers. It is the world's
largest service organisation for business
and professional people, with some
1,210,905 members operating in 168 countries world-wide.
There are some 58,000 Rotarians in Great Britain and Ireland in 1,845 clubs, helping those in
need and working towards world
understanding and peace. Its a fulfilling
role, and Rotarians can get involved as
much or as little as their time will allow.
But there is much more. Clubs meet on a
regular basis, which allows members to
build firm friendships. Every Rotarian
has a right to attend any Club meeting
anywhere in the world, so there is always somewhere to go, and people to meet, wherever business or leisure travel may take you.
Various Clubs have different emphases, which can reflect differences in size. A small market town may have a Club of perhaps 20 members, whereas in large centres the number can be closer to 100. Some concentrate on local community or vocational projects. Others link up with a sister club in another country to undertake an international project. Each Club decides how it wants to use the resources it has available
