People who become members are expected to adhere to a strict standard of personal and professional ethics, as the duty of service is perceived as taking precedence over self. Because this organization is a secular one, it does not discriminate based upon age, religion, gender or race.
To be come a member of Rotary normally requires a sponsor, however anyone interested in joining should contact their local club. Membership is open to all interested parties who have something to contribute. It is a non-religious, non-political and multi-ethnic organization and welcomes men and women who want to make a difference to anyone anywhere in the world.
There are currently more than 1.2 million Rotarian's across the world. People who are a part of these clubs frequently attend social functions, which are typically held on a weekly basis.
