| Why
join the Kankakee Rotary Club?
|
| Professional Networking: A founding principle of Rotary was to provide a forum for professional and business leaders. Rotary is the oldest, most prestigious service-club organization in the world. The Opportunity to Serve: Rotarians provide service at both the community and international levels. Members experience the fulfillment that comes from giving back to the community. Personal Growth and Development: Your membership in Rotary ensures continuing personal and professional development. Leadership, organization and planning, team building, and fundraising are just a sampling of skills that can be exercised through Rotary. Friendship: Follow ship was the primary reason Rotary was started in 1905, and it remains a major attraction. Today, with over 30,000 Rotary clubs in over 160 countries, Rotarians have friends wherever they go. Cultural Diversity: Rotary clubs are open to members of every ethnic group, political persuasion, language and religious belief. Good Citizenship: Membership in Rotary makes one a better citizen. Our expansive network of clubs and programs provides opportunity for service and exchange. World Understanding: Members gain an understanding of humanitarian issues and have significant impact through international service projects and programs. Entertainment: Conferences, conventions, and social events provide entertainment as well as Rotary information, education and service. Family Foundations: Rotary sponsors some of the world’s largest youth and education exchange and scholarship programs. Ethical Environment: Rotarians practice the 4-Way Test that measures words and actions by their truthfulness, fairness, goodwill, and benefit to all. |
