Rotary is a worldwide organization
of more than 1.2 million business, professional, and community
leaders. Members of Rotary clubs, known as Rotarians, provide humanitarian
service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build
goodwill and peace in the world. There are over 32,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical
areas. Clubs are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races,
and creeds.
As signified by the motto Service Above Self- Rotary’s main objective
is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world.
Somers Rotary meets at 6:30pm every Tuesday evening at the
Pinnacle restaurant in Heritage Hills. Projects are International, regional,
and local in scope, including funding construction of a water treatment
facility in Tamara, Honduras; On My
Mind, a nationally-recognized literacy project that publishes the writings of
students in high schools locally and throughout the U.S.; and a multitude of
local initiatives that provide relief to people in need in our own
community. Go to the Rotary link here www.SomersRotaryNY.org
