Show Rotary Cares
Through All Avenues of Service

When you join Rotary, you accept a total package of Club Service, Vocational Service, Community Service, and International Service. Each of these four avenues has its own unique purpose and reason for being reflected in the Object of Rotary. The complete Rotarian does not concentrate on only one or two programs or projects, but treads a well-worn path on all four Avenues of Service.

Care for Your Community

Make Community Service the hallmark of Rotary by developing meaningful projects that clearly identify your club as a leader in the community. Tackle the most difficult community problems—hunger, poverty, illiteracy, child abuse, and street crime. Rather than simply raising funds for other organizations, put Rotary's stamp on your projects and involve members in all stages of planning and implementation.

_{Care for Your Club}

Help your club grow by using Rotary's unique classification system as the framework for membership development. Attract new members by developing the kind of meaningful service projects that offer qualified men and women a reason to join Rotary. Give all your members an opportunity to use the leadership skills and experience that qualified them to become Rotarians in the first place. Create an ambiance of fellowship and friendship that will contribute to effective service.

Care for Our World

Expand your efforts beyond national borders to help achieve better communities in other parts of the world. Support World Community Service projects that combat poverty and hunger—the number one obstacles to world peace—and promote literacy for all. Participate in The Rotary Foundation programs as a way of further extending Rotary's human highway to peace. Support your Foundation through gifts to the Annual Fund and the Permanent Fund, so that these programs can continue to relieve human suffering and foster international understanding.

Care for Your Vocation

Restore Vocational Service to its original stature by assuming leadership roles in your professional or trade associations and sharing Rotary's ideals and high ethical standards with your professional colleagues. Address practical workplace issues, such as labor negotiations, using your considerable influence as business and professional leaders to effect viable solutions.
