Rotary’s Guiding Principles

First Guiding Principle
Object of Rotary

Rotary’s Guiding Principles
Four basic principles guide Rotarians in achieving the ideal of service and high ethical standards: Object of Rotary Classification Principle Avenues of Service The 4-Way Test

Object of Rotary First formulated in 1910, the Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and in particular, to encourage and foster: FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service; SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society; THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business and community life; FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

Second Guiding Principle
Classification

Classification Classification is based on the founders' paradigm of choosing cross-representation of each business, profession, and institution within a community.

What is Classification?
A classification describes either the principal business or the professional service of the organization that the Rotarian works for or the Rotarian's own activity within the organization.

Why a Classification System?
Rotary uses a classification system to: Establish and maintain a vibrant cross-section or representation of the community's business, vocational, and professional interests among members Develop a pool of resources and expertise to successfully implement service projects

Examples of Classifications
High schools Banking Insurance agency Pharmaceutical Universities Eye surgery Petroleum-distribution

Third Guiding Principle
Avenues of Service

Avenues of Service The Avenues of Service, based on the Object of Rotary, are Rotary’s philosophical cornerstone and the foundation on which club activity is based.

What are the Avenues of Service?
There are four Avenues of Service: Club Service Vocational Service Community Service International Service

First Avenue of Service
Club Service Focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the effective functioning of the club.

Second Avenue of Service
Vocational Service Encourages Rotarians to serve others through their vocations and to practice high ethical standards.

Third Avenue of Service
Community Service Covers the projects and activities the club undertakes to improve life in its community.

Fourth Avenue of Service
International Service Encompasses actions taken to expand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the globe and to promote world understanding and peace.

Fourth Guiding Principle
The 4-Way Test

The 4-Way Test Created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor (who later served as RI president) when he was asked to take charge of a company that was facing bankruptcy. This 24-word code of ethics for employees to follow in their business and professional lives became the guide for sales, production, advertising, and all relations with dealers and customers, and the survival of the company is credited to this simple philosophy. Adopted by Rotary in 1943, The 4-Way Test has been translated into more than a hundred languages and published in thousands of ways.

Of the things we think, say or do
What is The 4-way Test? 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?

Your Club, District, and RI

Rotary International Rotary International, the association of Rotary clubs, assists the 1.2 million Rotarians and more than 32,000 Rotary clubs around the world in advancing the Object of Rotary.

The Structure of RI Rotarians belong to Rotary clubs. Rotary clubs make up districts. All Rotarians, clubs, and districts together make up Rotary International.

Rotary Clubs The Rotary club is the most essential part of Rotary. It is the Rotary club that unites members who are dedicated to providing service to their local communities and communities abroad. Without clubs, the work of Rotary would not be possible.

Rotary Districts Clubs are assigned to a district based on geographic location. Districts exist solely to help Rotary clubs advance the Object of Rotary.

District 5810 This is our District which is located in North Central Texas and is made up of 3,200 plus Rotarians in more than 60 Rotary Clubs.

How do districts help clubs?
Districts expand fellowship between Rotarians and build on these relationships to foster service. Districts offer a variety of programs, like Group Study Exchange and Rotaract, that help clubs expand their service opportunities to the local community and communities abroad. In addition, districts support clubs through training programs and recognition programs.

District Programs Examples of district-based service programs, training programs, and recognition programs include: Multidistrict World Community Service projects Rotary Friendship Exchange District assembly District membership seminar District Rotary Foundation seminar RI Service Above Self Award Presidential Citations

The District Structure
District leadership plays an important role in ensuring the future success of the district and of Rotary International. Each year, the clubs of a district nominate a Rotarian to serve as their district governor. The elected governor oversees the entire district by providing leadership and support to clubs and Rotarians. The district governor appoints Rotarians to serve as assistant governors, district committee members, and district trainers.

District Governor The responsibilities of a district governor include:
Organizing new clubs Strengthening existing clubs Promoting membership growth Promoting cordial relations among clubs and between the clubs and RI Issuing a monthly letter to each club president and secretary

Assistant Governors Assistant governors help provide support to their assigned clubs by: Meeting with and assisting club presidents-elect Attending each club assembly Visiting each club regularly Suggesting ways to enhance Rotary development Identifying and encouraging the development of future district leaders

District Committees District committees exist to help carry out the goals of the district by addressing areas like membership development and public relations. District committees also serve as a resource to club committees and coordinate service projects for clubs such as Youth Exchange and Matching Grants projects.

District Committees The eight recommended district committees include:
Membership development Extension Finance On-going district-level programs (e.g. Interact, Rotary Community Corps) Public relations District conference The Rotary Foundation RI Convention promotion

District Trainers The district trainer works with the governor to develop and conduct training for the: Presidents-elect training seminar District assembly District team training seminar District leadership seminar Rotaract leadership training Other training events in the district as appropriate

Support areas of RI The mission of Rotary International is to support its member clubs in fulfilling the Object of Rotary by fostering unity among clubs, strengthening and expanding Rotary around the world, communicating worldwide the work of Rotary, and providing a system of international administration. Rotary International accomplishes this support through: • RI Board of Directors • RI staff • The Rotary Foundation • RI publications

The Board of Directors The Board of Directors governs Rotary International and establishes policy for the entire organization.

RI Staff RI staff, commonly referred to as the Secretariat, administers the day-to-day operations of Rotary. RI staff provides administrative support to clubs and districts, works on promoting Rotary through public relations, Rotarian training, and service programs, and also offers a variety of community service networking opportunities, like the World Community Service Projects Exchange Database.

The Rotary Foundation The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International provides clubs and districts with project support through grant programs and educational programs. The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to support the efforts of Rotary International in fulfillment of the Object of Rotary, Rotary’s Mission, and the achievement of world understanding and peace.

Publications Rotary International produces a variety of publications to help support clubs and districts, including: The Official Directory, which contains a list of all clubs, names and addresses of their presidents and secretaries, meeting times and places, and additional information THE ROTARIAN and the Rotary World Magazine Press, which provide all Rotarians with Rotary news Rotary World, which provides club presidents and secretaries with up-to-date Rotary information

Attendance

Attendance Requirement
One of the responsibilities of membership in a Rotary club is fulfilling the minimum attendance requirement.

Purpose of Attendance The purpose of the attendance requirement is to foster fellowship among club members. Attending club meetings is your opportunity to make new friends and keep in touch with established friends. Meetings also keep you in touch with the current events of your club, district, and Rotary International.

Attendance Credit As explained in the Standard Rotary Club Constitution, each member must meet the following conditions to satisfy the attendance requirement: Attend or make up at least 60% of regular Rotary club meetings in each half of the year. Attend at least 30% of their club’s regular meetings in each half of the year. A member may not miss or fail to make up four consecutive meetings.

Attendance for a Meeting
You must be present for at least 60% of a club meeting for it to count towards the attendance requirement. For example, at a 60 minute meeting, you would need to be present for at least 36 minutes. 45 min 15 min 30 min

Attendance at Your Club
You also need to attend at least 30% of your own club’s regular meetings in each half of the year. For example, if your club holds 26 regular weekly meetings in a half year, you must attend at least 8 of these meetings.

Make-ups If you cannot attend a club meeting, there are many ways you can still receive attendance credit. According to Art. VIII, Section 1 of the Club Constitution, these include: Attending a meeting of another club Attending a meeting of a Rotaract or Interact club or Rotary Community Corps Attending certain district or RI meetings Participating in a club-sponsored event Attending a club board or service committee meeting with authorization of the club board

Make-up Credit In order to get attendance credit, you must attend a make-up meeting or event within 14 days before or after the regular time of your missed meeting.

Meetings of Other Clubs
You can make up at clubs all around the world. Making up a meeting at another club is an opportunity to: Meet a new group of Rotarians. Observe how another club operates. Share information about your club. Make international contacts for club projects.

Finding Other Rotary Clubs
To locate a club for a make up meeting, you can use the online club locator or the Official Directory. Your club secretary should have a copy of the Official Directory. Be sure to ask the club secretary to sign a card or note as proof of your attendance. If you do not have a signed document your club may not give you attendance credit for the visit.

Rotaract, Interact, or RCC
Attending the meeting of a Rotaract club, Interact club, or Rotary Community Corps is a great way to explore these RI programs. To locate these clubs in your area contact Club leadership District Rotaract committee chair District Interact committee chair District Rotary Community Corps committee chair

District or RI Meetings
Attendance can be made up if you attend one of the following district or RI meetings: District conference District assembly District committee meeting (at request of the district governor) RI committee meeting RI Convention Rotary zone institute

Club-sponsored Events
Supporting the service work of your club by participating in one of the following club-sponsored events can also count as a make-up. Club service project Club-sponsored community event Other club meetings or events as authorized by the club board Check with your club secretary to see what other club events count as make-ups.

Board or Committee Meetings
Just as you can receive attendance credit for serving RI through district and RI committees, serving your club through holding a seat on the club board or in an assigned club committee can count as a make-up, if authorized by the board.

Excused Absences Absences may be considered excused if
The absence complies with the conditions and under circumstances approved by your club’s board. The board may excuse an absence for reasons it considers to be good and sufficient. The sum of the member’s years of membership and age equals 85 or more. That member can request the club’s board make an exception to the attendance requirement. The member must notify the club secretary in writing regarding their desire to be excused from attendance. Note: An excused absence does not provide attendance credit.

Termination Failure to meet the attendance requirement may result in termination of membership if the member fails to Attend or make-up at least 60% of club meetings in each half of the year Attend 30% of their own club’s regular meetings in each half of the year Attend or make-up four consecutive meetings

Menu of Service Opportunities

The Menu of Service Opportunities is a recommended list of service priorities for clubs and districts. The Menu of Service Opportunities helps Rotary clubs focus on specific areas of concern to all Rotarians when planning service projects.

Literacy and Numeracy Children at Risk Preserve Planet Earth Urban Concerns Disabled Persons Health Care International Understanding and Goodwill Population Issues Poverty and Hunger

Literacy and Numeracy Rotary clubs are encouraged to support literacy projects, such as reading to children, teaching adult literacy classes, and working with education professionals to improve literacy in schools.

Children at Risk Rotarians are encouraged to focus their attention and resources on vulnerable and troubled children. Rotary clubs worldwide are working to provide education, housing, and a safe, secure environment for needy children.

Preserve Planet Earth Rotarians are encouraged to live environmentally conscious lifestyles, to increase the number and diversity of environmental service projects carried out by clubs, and to promote awareness of the critical environmental issues affecting their communities and the planet.

Urban Concerns Rotarians are encouraged to focus attention on areas of concern to all communities, including community terrorism, gun violence, domestic violence, ethnic and religious intolerance, unemployment, lack of recreational facilities, hunger, and homelessness.

Disabled Persons Rotarians are encouraged to help prevent disabilities through measures taken against malnutrition, environmental pollution, inadequate prenatal and postnatal care. Additionally, Rotarians work on barriers to employment, providing job training to persons with disabilities.

Health Care Rotarians initiate health care prevention and education projects. Working on many fronts, projects provide access to health care, build supportive environments, teach healthy choices, and prevent diseases such as polio, HIV/AIDS, malaria, or tuberculosis.

International Understanding and Goodwill
International Understanding and Goodwill encourages Rotary clubs, in both their local communities and communities abroad, to promote peace and goodwill through club-to-club contacts, international service projects, peace programs, and cultural and educational exchanges.

Population Issues Many Rotary clubs focus on projects that help the global problem of sustainable development. Rotarians are asked to undertake projects that directly impact population growth and sustainable development.

Poverty and Hunger Rotarians are encouraged to conduct service projects to help conquer poverty and hunger in communities around the world.

The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International

Mission Statement The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to support the efforts of Rotary International in the fulfillment of the Object of Rotary, Rotary's mission, and the achievement of world understanding and peace through local, national, and international humanitarian, educational, and cultural programs.

Your Foundation Your Foundation operates because of both Rotarian involvement and Rotarian financial contributions

Programs and Funding Rotarians support The Rotary Foundation through participation and financial contributions. The Rotary Foundation programs include: Humanitarian Programs Educational Programs PolioPlus Support for these programs comes from: Annual Programs Fund The Permanent Fund

Programs: Humanitarian
The Humanitarian Grants Program provides grants to fund club and district service projects in local and international communities.

Humanitarian Grants Matching Grants support Rotary clubs and districts as they work with international partners to address humanitarian conditions that benefit communities in need. Volunteer Service Grants support the travel of Rotarians planning or implementing international service projects. District Simplified Grants support the service activities or humanitarian endeavors in which districts engage in local and international communities.

How To Participate in Humanitarian Grants
Initiate a Matching Grant project. Sponsor an Individual Grant recipient. Ask your district to support a local project with a District Simplified Grant.

Programs: Educational
Educational Programs provide funding for students, faculty, and young professionals to serve abroad.

Educational Programs Group Study Exchange provides a unique cultural and vocational exchange opportunity for young professionals. Ambassadorial Scholarships provide opportunities for students to study abroad and serve as ambassadors of goodwill. Rotary Centers for International Studies provide opportunities for scholars to study international relations and peace and conflict resolution. Rotary Grants for University Teachers provide opportunities for higher education faculty to teach at colleges and universities in developing countries.

How To Participate in Educational Programs
Sponsor a scholarship application to compete at the district level. Host a visiting GSE team member in your home or business. Recommend alumni for membership. Invite a current scholar or alumnus to speak to your club.

Programs: PolioPlus Rotary's priority program supports global efforts to eradicate polio.

PolioPlus Funding In 1985, Rotary launched PolioPlus, one of the most ambitious humanitarian programs ever undertaken by a private-sector organization. Today, the world is on the threshold of eradicating the poliovirus. The need for funding remains the largest obstacle to completing the eradication process. Rotary International has launched a large fundraising campaign to help fully eradicate the poliovirus.

How To Participate in PolioPlus
Support the PolioPlus Partners Program. Promote awareness of Rotary's polio eradication efforts in the media. Contribute to the Polio Eradication Fundraising Campaign.

Financial Support Rotarian contributions fund The Rotary Foundation programs. Gifts can be made to two funds: The Annual Programs Fund is the primary source of support for the Educational and Humanitarian programs of The Rotary Foundation. Gifts of any size are welcome. The Permanent Fund secures the future of programs for tomorrow. The principal is never spent but a portion of the interest earnings are directed to programs each year. The Permanent Fund is built primarily through bequest gifts and outright gifts of US$10,000 or more.

Annual Programs Fund Because the Annual Programs Fund is spent in full each year, it must be continually replenished. Every Rotarian is asked to become a Rotary Foundation Sustaining Member by making a contribution of US$100 or more every year to the Annual Programs Fund. All gifts to the Annual Programs Fund also count toward Paul Harris Fellow recognition.

SHARE SHARE is the system which districts use to participate in Rotary Foundation Programs. Rotary clubs are organized into units known as districts. Foundation contributions are tabulated by district. Each district's contributions to the Annual Programs Fund are split, with 50 percent going to the district (to its District Designated Fund or DDF), which can be used for a program of the district’s choice, and 50 percent going to The Rotary Foundation (known as the World Fund or WF), which funds programs for which every district may apply.

Your Foundation Makes a Difference
