We all think we choose what path we take in life, who we socialize and
mix with, what views we hold. But those decisions are actually shaped by
networks of people - David Brooks.
It does so by chartering
local Rotary clubs and encouraging them to create Rotarians by advancing the Object of Rotary. To make it easier to understand how the Object of Rotary can and does influence club members,
here it is made simple.
The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the
ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to
encourage and foster:
FIRST: The Development of acquaintance as an
opportunity for service.
Rotarians have the opportunity to create relationships with many business, professional, and community leaders.
SECOND - High ethical standards in
business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful
occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity
to serve society.
Being a Rotarian authenticates the
person and their business or profession.
THIRD - The application of the ideal of service in
each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life.
Rotarians
nurture this personal characteristic; the cornerstone of building and
sustaining relationships.
FOURTH - The advancement of international
understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and
professional persons united in the ideal of service.
Rotarians become better world citizens and
often build lasting international relationships.
rotarians influenced by the Object of Rotary have made their
families, businesses, communities and the world better. What they did is a by-product of who they are
and the impact the Object of Rotary had on them personally.
