Rotary Make-UpOpportunities

To Encourage and Foster the Ideal of Service as a Basis of Worthy Enterprise.

Object of Rotary

“Service Above Self”Rotary Motto

An interesting Rotary program of fellowship is the Rotary Friendship Exchange. This activity is intended to encourage Rotarians and their families to visit with Rotarian families in other parts of the world. It may be conducted on a club-to-club (individual Rotarians and their families) or district-to-district (four to six Rotary couples) basis.

The idea is for several Rotarian couples to travel to another country on the Rotary Friendship Exchange. Later, the hospital-ity is reversed when the visit is reciprocated. After a successful pilot experiment, the Rotary Friendship Exchange became a permanent program of Rotary in 1988.

The Rotary Friendship Exchange is frequently compared to the Group Study Exchange program of The Rotary Foundation, except that it involves Rotarian couples or families who person-ally pay for all expenses of their intercountry experience. Doors of friendship are opened in a way that could not be duplicated except in Rotary.

Rotarians seeking an unusual vacation and fellowship experi-ence should learn more about the Rotary Friendship Exchange. Some unusual Rotary adventures are awaiting you!
