Rotary Community
Service is to encourage and foster the application of the
ideal of service to the personal, business and community life
of every Rotarian. Community Service is an opportunity for
every Rotarian to exemplify 'Service Above Self'. It is the
commitment and social responsibility of every Rotarian and
Rotary Club to improve the quality of life for those who live
in the community and to serve the public interest.
