PolioPlus, Rotary’s most ambitious program to

date, focuses on global immunization efforts and

has played a leadership role with the World Health

Organization, CDC, and UNICEF in bringing the

world to the brink of polio eradication. The Bill &

Melinda Gates Foundation has contributed

US$355 million to Rotary to support PolioPlus

activities.

What is Rotary?

Rotary is a global network of community

volunteers.

Rotary club members are business, profes-

sional, and community leaders in your locality

who meet regularly to plan and implement

community service activities and network with

other professionals. For those interested,

members can also choose to become involved

in international humanitarian service efforts.

More than 1.2 million men and women in over

200 countries and geographical areas belong

to over 33,000 Rotary clubs.

Rotary builds international understanding

through scholarships, exchange programs,

and humanitarian grants. Throughout the

world, Rotary clubs participate in a broad

range of educational, intercultural, and

humanitarian activities designed to improve

the lives of others.

Benefits of

Membership

Belonging to a Rotary club provides members

with an opportunity to make a contribution to

their own communities and to communities

around the world.

Members may join Rotary for many reasons,

including community involvement, personal

development, professional networking, and

camaraderie with fellow members. But

perhaps the most important benefit is the

satisfaction gained from making a real

difference in the world.
