Join the Bel Air Rotary

Why would you want to join the Bel Air Rotary Club?

Professional Networking

A founding principle of Rotary was to meet periodically to enjoy camaraderie
and enlarge one's circle of business and professional acquaintances. As the
oldest service club in the world, Rotary club members represent a
cross-section of the community's owners, executives, managers, political
leaders, and professionals - people who make decisions and influence policy.

Service Opportunities

Club members have many opportunities for humanitarian service, both locally
and internationally. Service programs address such concerns as health care,
hunger, poverty, illiteracy, and the environment. Rotarians experience the
fulfillment that comes from giving back to the community.

Friendship

Rotary was founded on fellowship, an ideal that remains a major attraction
of membership today. Club members enjoy the camaraderie with like-minded
professionals, and club projects offer additional opportunities to develop
enduring friendships. Rotary club members who travel have friendly contacts
in almost every city in the world.

Good Citizenship

Weekly Rotary club programs keep members informed about what is taking
place in the community, nation, and world and motivated to make a
difference.

Family Foundations

Rotary sponsors some of the world's largest youth exchange, educational
exchange, and scholarship programs. Rotary clubs provide innovative
training opportunities and mentoring for young leaders and involve family
members in a wide range of social and service activities.

Entertainment

Social activities give Rotarians a chance to let loose and have fun. Every
Rotary club and district hosts parties and activities that offer diversions from
today's demanding professional and personal schedules. Conferences,
conventions, assemblies, and social events provide entertainment as well as
Rotary information, education, and service.

Ethical Environment

Encouraging high ethical standards in one's profession and respect for all
worthy vocations has been a hallmark of Rotary from its earliest days. In
their business and professional lives, Rotarians abide by The Four-Way Test:
Of the things we think, say or do:
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?

Leadership Development

Rotary is an organization of successful professionals. Team building,
fundraising, public speaking, planning, organization, and communication are
just a sampling of the leadership skills that club members can exercise and
enhance. Being a Rotary leader provides further experience in learning how
to motivate, inspire, and guide others.

Diversity in Membership

Rotary's classification system ensures that a club's membership represents a
variety of the community's professional men and women, including leaders in
business, industry, the arts, government, sports, the military, and religion.
Rotary clubs are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races,
and creeds.
