Club of
Benoni Van Ryn
Rotary is a global network of 1.2 million business people, community leaders, neighbours, friends and problem-solvers who come together to make a positive, lasting change in communities locally and abroad.
Solving real problems takes real commitment and vision. For more than 110 years, Rotary members have used their passion, energy, and intelligence to take action on sustainable projects. From literacy and peace to water and health, we are always working to better our world, and we stay committed to the end.
Rotary Motto: Service Above Self
The guiding principles of Rotary have been the foundation of our values:
service, fellowship, diversity, integrity and leadership
The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster an opportunity for service, high ethical standards in business and professions, and the promotion of international understanding, goodwill and peace through fellowship united in service.
The Four-Way Test
The Four-Way Test is an ethical guide for Rotarians to use in their personal lives, as well as their professional careers. It is recited at Club meeting:
Of the things we think, say or do:
-
Is it the TRUTH?
-
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
-
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
-
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
There are more than 35,000 clubs worldwide, where Rotarian's believe that they have a shared responsibility to work together to promote peace, fight disease, help grow local economies, provide clean water, sanitation and hygiene, and support education.
