I imagine this will be the question we will be asked when approaching potential new members and partners. Each of us has our own answer to the question, based on individual experiences. If you haven't totally formed your answer, then it may be time to revisit some Rotary information.
Rotary is a global network of more than 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
Solving real problems takes real commitment and vision. For more than 110 years, Rotary's people of action have used their passion, energy, and intelligence to take action on sustainable projects. From literacy and peace to water and health, we are always working to better our world, and we stay committed to the end.
What we do
Rotary members believe that we have a shared responsibility to take action on our world’s most persistent issues. Our more than 45,000 clubs work together to:
- Promote peace

- Improve maternal and child health
- Support education
- Grow local economies
- Protect the environment
Our mission
We provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.
Vision statement
Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
Whilst it is easy to simply state the standard 'Rotary story' contained in the first paragraph, our reply to the 'big question' should have a personal flavour. Potential new members need to get a glimpse of the personal and human aspects of Rotary. They will be motivated to join by that personal and human interaction and satisfaction we know.
The lifeline of Rotary is membership. The very survival of the Rotary Club of Salisbury is new members.
