In terms of
Vocational Service, Rotary employs "service" in its
broad sense, referring not merely to the merchandise sold or
work done in any business or professional transaction, but the
giving of due consideration to the needs of others. Vocational
Service is the way Rotary fosters and supports the application
of the ideal of service in the pursuit of all vocations.
It is the responsibility of the club and its members to
develop projects that help members contribute their vocational
talents and to encourage high ethical standards in business
and professions.
To meet Rotary's objectives and recognizing each Rotarian's
occupation as an opportunity to serve, the Rotary Club of
Kuching Central has undertaken the following Vocational
activities in the last Rotary Year:
