Some benefits of membership in Rotary include:

Networking
An original goal of Rotary was to allow club members to meet periodically and increase their circle of business and professional acquaintances. As members of the oldest service club in the world, Rotarians represent a cross-section of our community's business owners, executives, managers, political leaders, and professionals - people who make decisions and influence policy.
 
Service
Club members have many opportunities for humanitarian service, both locally and internationally. Service programs address concerns such as health care, hunger, poverty, illiteracy, and the environment. Rotarians regularly experience the fulfillment that comes from giving back to the community.
 
Friendship
Rotary was founded on fellowship, a cornerstone that continues to attract members today. Rotarians enjoy camaraderie with like-minded professionals. Club service projects provide opportunities to develop enduring friendships. Club members who travel have friendly contacts in almost every city of the world.
 
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.
 
Ethics
Encouraging high ethical standards and respect for all worthy vocations have been hallmarks of Rotary from its earliest days. In their business and professional lives, Rotarians abide by The Four-Way Test:
 
        Of the things we think, say or do:
           1.  Is it the TRUTH?
          2.  Is it FAIR to all concerned?
          3.  Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
          4.  Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
 
Leadership
Rotary is an organization of successful professionals. Team-building, fundraising, public speaking, planning, organization, and communication are just some of the leadership skills that club members can exercise and enhance. Being a Rotary leader provides further experience in motivating, inspiring, and guiding others.
