Rotary is an Organization of business and professional leaders united world-wide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build good will and peace in the world. Waterford Rotary was formed in April 1973.
The main objective of Rotary is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians develop community service projects that address many of today's most critical issues, such as children at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, illiteracy, and violence. They also support programs for youth, educational opportunities and international exchanges for students, teachers, and other professionals, and vocational and career development. The Rotary motto is Service Above Self.
