Rotary Around the World
Rotary is the world’s first service club. Rotarians carry out a variety of humanitarian, educational, and cultural exchange programs. Since its founding in 1905, Rotary has grown to include some 1.2 million service-minded men and women belonging to more than 30,000 Rotary clubs in 166 countries in the world. Rotarians meet weekly for fellowship and interesting and informative programs dealing with topics of local and global importance. Membership reflects a cross-section of community representation. Rotary is widely regarded as the world’s largest private provider of international educational scholarships. The Rotary Foundation provides each year some $90 million for international scholarships, cultural exchanges, and humanitarian projects that improve the quality of life for millions of people. PolioPlus is Rotary’s program to work with national and international health organizations to eradicate polio by 2005. More than one billion children in developing nations have been immunized through PolioPlus grants.
The Rotary Foundation seeks the support of every Rotarian, every year. Your $100 contribution annually helps carry out the mission of Rotary worldwide, including PolioPlus, humanitarian and educational endeavors. Read what your gift can do.
