What is Rotary ?

Rotary International was founded in 1905
and is one of the world's largest service
organizations, with over 1.2 million members
from 32,500 clubs in more than 200 countries. 
Rotarians  represent a cross section  of the
business and professional leaders in their
respective communities. Rotary clubs are
nonpolitical, nonsectarian and are open to
men and women from all cultures, races and
creeds.

The main objective of Rotary is service. In
fact, the Rotary motto is "Service Above Self."
Rotary clubs develop and support a wide
variety of programs which serve youth, senior
citizens, the disadvantaged and handicapped.
Internationally, Rotary provides  scholarships
and sponsors educational exchange programs
for students and business professionals. Additionally, Rotary clubs in the developed world partner with Rotary clubs in under developed countries to improve local health and educational conditions in those countries.

The most significant Rotary International
accomplishment in recent years  is Polio
Plus which is a program to eradicate polio
by immunizing all children throughout the
world.  Begun in the 1980's, Rotary has
contributed US $500 million to this cause  as
well as  providing a virtual army of volunteers
to assist at national immunization days in polio-
endemic countries around the world.
