Friendship: In an increasingly complex world, Rotary provides one of the most basic of human needs: the need for friendship and fellowship. It is one of two reasons why Rotary began in 1905.

Business Development: The second original reason for Rotary’s beginning is business development. Everyone needs to network. Rotarians help each other and collectively help others.

Citizenship in the Community: Membership in a Rotary club makes one a better community citizen.

Citizenship in the World: Every Rotarian is welcome - encouraged - to attend any of the 31000 clubs in 194 nations and geographical regions. This means instant friends in both ones own community and in the world community.

Family Programs: Rotary has a host of programs to help family members in development and in increasing the circle of friends.
