The TOP 10
Reasons On #Why You Should #JoinRotary?
1. Friendship: In an increasingly complex world, Rotary provides one of the most basic
human needs: the need for friendship and fellowship. It is one of two reasons why
Rotary began in 1905.
2. Business Development: The second original reason for Rotary’s beginning is
business development. Everyone needs to network. Rotary consists of a cross section of every business community. Its members come from all walks of life. Rotarians help each other and collectively help others.
3. Personal Growth and Development: Membership in Rotary continues one’s growth
and education in human relations and personal development.
4. Fun: Rotary is fun, a lot of fun. Each meeting is fun. The club projects are fun. Social
activities are fun. The service is fun.
5. Citizenship in the World: Every Rotarian wears a pin that says “Rotary
International.” There are few places on the globe that do not have a Rotary club.
Every Rotarian is welcome – even encouraged – to attend any of the thousands of clubs across the globe.
6. The Development of Ethics: Rotarians practice a 4-Way Test that governs one’s
ethical standards. Rotarians are expected to be ethical in business and personal
relationships.
7. Cultural Awareness: Around the world, practically every religion, country, culture,
race, creed, political persuasion, language, color, and ethnic identity is found in
Rotary. It is a cross section of the world’s most prominent citizens from every
background. Rotarians become aware of their cultures and learn to love and work
with people everywhere.
8. Nice People: Rotarians above all are nice people – the nicest people on the face of the
earth. They are important people who follow the policy of it is nice to be important
but it is important to be nice.
9. The Absence of an “Official Creed”: Rotary has no secret handshake, no secret
policy, no official creed, no secret meeting or rituals. It is an open society of men and
women who simply believe in helping others.
And at number 10 on the reasons why you should join a Rotary Club
10. The Opportunity to Serve!
Rotary is a service club. Its business is mankind. Its
product is service. Rotarians provide community service to both local and international communities. This is perhaps the best reason for becoming a Rotarian: the chance to do something for somebody else and to sense the self-fulfillment that comes in the process and return of that satisfaction to one’s own life. It is richly rewarding.
