What Is Rotary ? What Is Rotary ? Rotary is . . ."An organization of business and professional people united worldwide, who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world." "Specifically, a Rotary Club is composed of business and professional people who have accepted the ideal of service as a basis for attaining fulfillment in the personal, vocational, and community life."
The Object of Rotary The Object of Rotary "To encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise" This "ideal of service" can be fostered through: � the development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service; � the promotion of high ethical standards in business and professions; � through service in one's personal, business and community life; � the advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace.
The Founder of Rotary The Founder of Rotary � Rotary was founded February 23, 1905 in Chicago, Illinois by attorney Paul P. Harris and three friends. � Harris had in mind was a club that would kindle fellowship among members of the business community. � Harris's thought was that this new club should represent a cross-section of the business and professional life of the community. From this idea developed Rotary's Classification Principle. � Their weekly meetings of this new club "rotated" from business to business, and gave rise to the name "Rotary.” The club members suggested a “wagon wheel” for their emblem. By the end of 1905, the club had 30 members. � The club’s first community project was in 1907 - the installation of a public comfort station near the city hall in downtown Chicago.
Growth of Rotary Growth of Rotary � The second Rotary club was formed in 1908 half a continent away from Chicago in San Francisco, California. Then a short leap across San Francisco Bay to Oakland where the third club was formed. Others followed in Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York City. � The first convention was held in 1910 in Chicago where the clubs organized themselves to form the National Association of Rotary Clubs Rotary became international in 1910 when a club was formed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, � Canada followed in 1911 with a new club in Dublin, Ireland. � These new clubs resulted in a name change in 1912 to "The International Association of Rotary Clubs”. By 1921 the organization was represented on every continent, and the name Rotary � International was adopted in 1922, which remains today
Paul Harris Apr 19, 1868 - to Jan 27, 1947 Gus
The Rotary Motto The Rotary Motto � At that first convention in 1910, a motto was chosen for the new organization, recognizing its commitment to the idea of service: "He Profits Most Who Serves His Fellows Best." � In 1950, Rotary International adopted two mottos "He Profits Most Who Serves Best" and "Service Above Self," � In 1989, the Rotary International Council on Legislation established the organization's principal motto . . . . "Service Above Self"
The 4- -Way Test Way Test The 4 One of the most widely printed and quoted statements of business ethics in the world is the Rotary 4-Way Test. It was created by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor in 1932 when he was asked to take charge of a company that was facing bankruptcy. Taylor looked for a way to save the struggling company mired in depression-caused financial difficulties. He drew up a 24-word code of ethics for all employees to follow in their business and professional lives. The 4-Way Test became the guide for sales, production, advertising and all relations with dealers and customers, and the survival of the company is credited to this simple philosophy. The 4-Way Test was adopted by Rotary in 1943 and has been translated into more than a hundred languages and published in thousands of ways .
4- -Way Test Way Test 4 The Four Way Test Says that 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?
Rotary Emblem Rotary Emblem The Rotary emblem started as a wagon wheel representing "civilization and movement". In 1922 (coinciding with the name change to Rotary International) the "gear" with 24 cogs, six spokes, and the "keyway" was adopted. The keyway in a gear indicates that it is a driver gear . . . just as Rotary is a driving force in the community.
