WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO: ROTARY – People of Action Rotary is where neighbours, friends, and problem-solvers share ideas, join leaders, and take action to create lasting change. See: http://video.rotary.org/EgFi/ia17-people-of-action-public-image-campaign-launch-joe-otin/ 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; 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; THIRD The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life; FOURTH The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service. Rotary Code of Conduct provides a framework for ethical behavior that all Rotarians can use, together with The Four-Way Test, in their business and professional activities.
