Rotary was started in 1905 by Paul
P. Harris, an attorney who wished to recapture in a
professional club the same friendly spirit he had felt in the
small towns of his youth. The name "Rotary" derived from the
early practice of rotating meetings among members' offices.

The Rotary motto is "Service
above Self"
Striving for the highest ethical
standards in their personal and professional lives each
Rotarian strives to use the following
Rotary 4-way test:
"Of the things we think, say or
do:
-
Is it the TRUTH?
-
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
-
Will it build GOODWILL and
BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
-
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all
concerned?"
