HIGHLIGHTER 04-03-2026What is Rotary?
Rotary is an international membership organization made up of diverse groups of people who share a passion for and commitment to enhancing communities and improving lives across the world. Rotary clubs exist in almost every country. Being a member is an opportunity to take action and make a difference.
How Did We Get Here?
We’ve been making history and bringing our world closer together for more than 100 years. The first Rotary club was started in Chicago, Illinois, in 1905 by an attorney named Paul Harris. Harris wanted to bring together a group of professionals with different backgrounds and skills as a way to exchange ideas and form meaningful acquaintances. In August 1910, there were 16 Rotary clubs in the United States and by 1912 Rotary started to expand internationally. By July 1925, Rotary clubs existed on six continents. Today, there are more than 35,000 clubs, in almost every country in the world.
Although Rotary clubs develop autonomous service programs, all Rotarians worldwide are united in a campaign for the global eradication of polio. Through the PolioPlus program, Rotarians have contributed more than $2.1 billion to date and provided an army of volunteers to promote and assist at national immunization days in polio-endemic countries around the world.
Find out more about Rotary by visiting the Rotary International website.
The Four-Way Test
The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians recite it at club meetings:
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?

💙 This one matters… more than we sometimes realize. 💙Most of us have been touched by mental health in some way— a friend who was struggling, a family member who seemed “off,” or maybe even moments in our own lives that felt heavier than we could explain.And yet… we don’t always talk about it.But the truth is—talking can save lives.According to NAMI, over 49,000 lives were lost to suicide in 2023. That’s one person every 11 minutes.Not strangers… someone’s child, parent, sibling, friend.That’s why Rotary District 5300 is committed to changing the conversation.We’re creating a space where it’s okay to learn, to ask questions, to understand the signs, and to feel more prepared to support the people around us—and ourselves.Join us for “Talk Saves Lives: Suicide Prevention & Mental Health” A meaningful and educational conversation about how we can all play a role in awareness, prevention, and support.📅 Friday, April 3⏰ 9:00 – 10:30 AM💻 Free on Zoom👥 Everyone is welcomeYou never know when the knowledge you gain could help you show up for someone who needs it most.Or even help save a life.Let’s come together, learn together, and support one another.Register using the QR code in the graphic or by clicking the link below:registrations.dacdb.com/Register/index.cfm?EventID=77903384 ...
