Rotary International
The rotary phone may be a thing of the past, but Rotary International, founded in 1905, and its more than 1.2 million members are still going strong. The service organization, with a motto of Service Above Self, comprises 33,000 clubs in some 200 countries and territories worldwide. Rotary service projects are intended to alleviate problems, such as disease, hunger, illiteracy, poverty, and violence. Grants from the Rotary Foundation support its efforts. Along with its service projects, Rotary aims to promote high ethical standards in the workplace. Membership in Rotary clubs is by invitation; each club strives to include representatives from major businesses, professions, and institutions in its community.
