Welcome to the Rotary Club of North Port Central in Florida.
We belong to the Rotary International’s more than 1.2 million members in over 32,000 clubs in 200 countries, who volunteer their time and talent to further the Rotary Motto of SERVICE ABOVE SELF.
Rotary’s commitment to SERVICE ABOVE SELF has been channeled through the four Avenues of Service, which form the foundation of club activity.
Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the smooth functioning of Rotary Clubs.
Vocational Service involves club members serving others through their professions and aspiring to high ethical standards. Rotarians, as business leaders, share skills and expertise through their vocations, and they inspire others in the process.
Community Service is the opportunity Rotary clubs have to implement club projects and activities that improve life in the local community.
International Service encompasses efforts to expand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the world and to promote world understanding and peace. It includes everything from contributing to PolioPlus to funding disaster relief via Shelter Box USA, to helping Rotary Youth Exchange students adjust to their host countries.
Throughout our history, we have contributed thousands of dollars each year to our community and international service projects. These funds are raised through fundraising events and through the efforts and contributions of our individual members.
For, Rotary, the Four-Way-Test is the cornerstone of all action. It has been for years, and it will be in the future. 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?
