Approximately 1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than 31,000 rotary clubs located in 166 countries. ROTARY CLUB MEMBERSHIP represents a cross-section of the community’s business and professional men and women. the world’s rotary clubs meet weekly and are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds. 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, 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".

INFORMATION FOR "Service Above Self" PROSPECTIVE MEMBERS: Rotarians are business and professional leaders who take an active role in their communities while greatly enriching their personal and professional lives. A Rotary club contains a diverse group of professional leaders from the community that the club serves. Membership in a Rotary club offers a number of benefits, including: Effecting change within the community. Developing leadership skills. Gaining an understanding of — and having an impact on — international humanitarian issues. Developing relationships with community and business leaders. Through Rotary's service programs, a Rotary club can have a significant effect on the quality of life in its community. Rotary Foundation programs offer opportunities to form international partnerships that help people in need worldwide. Some 1.2 million Rotarians in 30,000 clubs in more than 160 countries make significant contributions to the quality of life at home and around the globe. Contact Deb Rodenbaugh, Membership Chair, at drodenbaugh@kansascommerce.com for more information.  
 
The 4-Way Test
 
For five decades Rotarians have been using The 4-Way Test as a practical yardstick in their business, community, and personal affairs. The 4-Way Test, you will note, does not provide answers. It asks questions which the user must answer. Thousands of Rotarians have used it and shared it with others. Millions of copies have been distributed to students and business associates. The Test has been carved into granite monuments, displayed on billboards, written into labor contracts, printed on wrapping paper and umbrellas, and has been the theme of countless essay contests and addresses.
1. Is it the truth? 2. Is it fair to all concerned? 3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships? 4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
