Service
Rotary is a service club that lets you make a difference as part of the world’s largest family of givers. You will have many opportunities to assist a wide variety of local, national and international humanitarian causes that will touch the lives of people you will never meet.

Networking/Friendship
These are two of the principal reasons why Rotary began. The ability to network with a cross section of leaders of other businesses and professions who help each other, and collectively help others, while promoting lasting friendships. The meetings give our members a place to share business information and potential leads.

International Connections
Rotary is a worldwide family. Every Rotary Club has a weekly meeting around the world, and Rotarians are able to join a meeting wherever they are. Our Rotarians have joined meetings in Los Angeles, Cambodia, Bangkok and Switzerland. We have had Visiting Rotarians from Germany, Taiwan, Australia, Thailand, Sweden and USA who have attended our meetings.

Family
Rotary sponsors some of the world’s largest exchange and educational programs. Rotary clubs provide innovative training opportunities and mentoring for young leaders, and they involve family members in a wide range of social and service activities.

Prestige
Rotary members are prominent individuals. They are leaders of the many businesses and professions that influence policy and help guide our communities.

Continuing Education
Your professional and personal knowledge will be enriched by expert speakers at weekly dinners. These speakers address a wide range of issues in our communities, nation, and world.

Personal Growth
Your personal development and people skills will grow when you get involved with other community leaders and like ideas.  Countless opportunities are available for you to lead, speak, motivate and learn from others when you get involved in Club /committees, projects, and meetings.
