Rotary International

Rotary International is a global network of service clubs with the largest membership in the world. It is a non-political and non-religious organization that focuses on providing service to others, promoting integrity, and advancing world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.

However, the specific organization in question appears to be related to the Rotary club in Gaithersburg, which is part of Rotary International. If you are referring to the Gaithersburg Rotary specifically, below is general information related to Rotary International clubs.

Overview

Rotary International was founded on February 23, 1905, by attorney Paul P. Harris. The organization now comprises over 46,000 clubs worldwide, with a membership of approximately 1.4 million Rotarians. This membership includes various clubs like Rotary, Interact, and Rotaract.

Mission

The mission of Rotary International is to provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace. This mission is achieved through a variety of community and international service projects, including efforts in health improvement, education, environmental protection, and poverty alleviation.

Activities
  • Community Service: Clubs conduct various projects within their local communities.
  • International Service: Collaborations between clubs from different countries, often involving humanitarian aid and cultural exchange programs.
  • Educational Programs: Rotary offers scholarships and fellowships to promote international understanding and peace.
  • Humanitarian Grants: The Rotary Foundation supports large-scale projects through its grant programs, focusing on health, hunger, and human development.
Structure

Rotary International operates through a hierarchical structure:

  • Club Level: Individual Rotary clubs are the basic units of Rotary activity, each determining its membership and conducting local projects.
  • District Level: Clubs are grouped into districts, which coordinate activities among local clubs.
  • Zones and International Level: Districts are grouped into zones, with Rotary International overseeing all global operations.
The Rotary Foundation

The Rotary Foundation is a non-profit corporation that supports Rotary's humanitarian and educational efforts. It was established in 1917 and operates internationally, funding projects to improve health, education, and environmental conditions worldwide. The Foundation is supported solely by voluntary contributions.

While the Gaithersburg Rotary Club is part of the larger Rotary International framework, specific details about this local club would be part of its internal documentation or community engagement rather than general Rotary International information.

As a volunteer, I love how Eduo.org empowers people to contribute locally. It feels like Wikipedia for good deeds — written by the people, for the people.
