Community Service

Rotarians have been deeply involved in serving their communities since the es-tablishment of the first Rotary club in Chicago USA a century ago. Community Service is an opportunity for every Rotarian to exemplify "Service Above Self". It is a part of the Rotary ethos for Rotarians and their clubs to improve the quality of life for those who live in the community and to serve the public interest. Community service projects give Rotarians the opportunity to be in-volved in their community and improves their satisfaction in their membership of Rotary. These community projects also increase the profile of Rotary and its clubs in local communities and may attract community minded people to join Rotary.

Further information about many of these community service activities is contained in the associated community service pages

 Members of the Community Service committee are available to assist clubs in their planning of community service projects if required.

 The Community Service Committee has produced a comprehensive manual to assist clubs with a range of projects, activities and ideas that can be undertaken.
