Why Join Rotary?

Upon joining Rotary you will have immediate access to the following benefits:


Friendship

Rotary was founded on fellowship, an ideal that remains a major attraction of membership today.
Club members enjoy the fellowship with like-minded people and club projects offer additional opportunities to develop enduring friendships.


Rotary club members who travel have friendly contacts in almost every city in the world.

 

​Activities

Rotary clubs have social programs that provide a diversion from your work life. Various functions and conventions provide good entertainment in addition to information, education and service.

Personal Growth and Development

Membership of Rotary continues to provide opportunities for growth and education in human relations and personal development.

Continuing Education

Each week at Rotary there is a program designed to keep members informed about community, national and world events.

Guest speakers and timely topics are presented and discussed.


The Development of Ethics

Rotarians practice “The Four-Way Test”, a test that governs our ethical standards.
Rotarians are expected to be ethical in work and personal relationships.


The Opportunity to Serve

Rotary is a service club. Its motto is “Service above Self.”
Rotarians provide community service both locally and internationally.
This is perhaps the best reason for becoming a Rotarian - the chance to do something for somebody else and to experience the self-fulfilment that comes from the process. It is a richly rewarding activity.

 

Ethical Environment

Encouraging high ethical standards has been a hallmark of Rotary from its earliest days. Rotarians abide by:

 

The Four-Way Test - Of the things we think, say or do


► Is it the TRUTH?
► Is it FAIR to all concerned?
► Will it BUILD GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
► Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

 
No Official Creed

Rotary is a transparent organisation.

There are no secret policies.

It is an open group of diverse members who believe in helping others.

 "The Rotary Club of Woodend acknowledge the Dja Dja Wurrung, Taungurung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Peoples and their Ancestors as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands of the Macedon Ranges on which we meet, work and live. We recognise their living culture and continuous connection to the land and waters in our area and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging."
