What is Rotary?

Rotary International is one of the world's largest service organizations, with some 29,500 clubs in more than 160 countries, and a membership of over 1,200,000. Clubs are organized geographically into districts of 40 to 70 clubs. Central Missouri clubs are a part of District 6080.

Annually, Rotary clubs worldwide invite a limited number of men and women to become members. These prospective members represent various businesses and professional activities in their communities. As a progressive-minded business or professional person, you will see that belonging to a Rotary club, where outstanding representatives of different vocations in your community come together, has its benefits.

Rotary clubs provide:
  • Friendships with other managerial and professional leaders in your community.
  • Prestige of membership in a worldwide organization.
  • Ongoing practical education.
  • A network of people who can help you become more successful.
  • Promotion of higher ethical standards in your business or profession.
  • Projects to enhance your community.
  • Help for communities in countries around the world.
