A Little Back Ground Information on Rotary
International
ROTARY IS...

worldwide, who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical
standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the
world.

more than 30, 000 Rotary clubs in virtually every nation in the world.
ROTARIANS meet weekly for fellowship and interesting and informative
programs dealing with topics of local and global importance. Membership
