Mission of Rotary
Rotary club members are part of a diverse group of professional leaders working to address various community and international service needs. Through community service and other means, Rotary club members help promote peace and understanding throughout the world. Our members are our most important asset. They are the force that allows Rotary to carry out its many humanitarian efforts and achieve its mission.
Why Join Rotary?
Each Rotary club strives for a membership that is an up-to-date and progressive representation of its community's business, vocational, and professional interests. Membership in Rotary offers a number of benefits, including:
- Working with others in addressing community needs
- Developing leadership skills
- Gaining an understanding of — and having an impact on — international humanitarian issues.
- Developing relationships with community and business leaders
- Involving family in promoting service efforts
Rotary membership is by invitation of local clubs. If you would like to be considered for membership by Siren-Webster Rotary, please contact a club member or board member on the "About Us" page.
