What is Rotary?

ROTARY began in 1905 in Chicago as a business networking organisation - maybe a fore runner of BNI!
ROTARY is a service organisation, united worldwide, helping those in need, encouraging high ethical standards in all vocations and working towards world understanding and peace.
ROTARY is more than 1.2 million service minded people belonging to 30,000 ROTARY Clubs in 150 countries. The newest country to form a club is Palestine.
Tarporley is one of approximately 1,900 ROTARY Clubs in the UK, which total about 50,000 members
We are part of District 1050 - Manchester and Cheshire. This has nearly 50 clubs and approaching 1200 members
ROTARIANS meet weekly to enjoy each others' fellowship and plan new ways to serve others.
ROTARY is compassion for the underpriviledged, the ill and the disabled, who benefit from over 50,000 ROTARY Club service projects in the world each year.
ROTARY runs the biggest non-government scholarship scheme in the world.
The ROTARY FOUNDATION gives more than £21M every year to educational and humanitarian programmes which promote international understanding.
The world headquarters are in the USA and the HQ of ROTARY in GB and Ireland (RIBI) is in Alcester - Warwickshire.
If you'd like to 'give something back,' ROTARY is probably just right for you. Why don't you ask about joining?
