Why Join Rotary?
If
you are looking for a organization to help you get involved
in the community, Nome Rotary is a great group to be a part
of. 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.
Additionally, Nome Rotary
is lots of fun and provides a great opportunity to meet those
living and working in Nome. Like our parent organization,
Rotary International, the Nome Rotary Club 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. Nome Rotary club members
who travel have friendly contacts in almost every city in
the world.

From
the earliest days of the organization, Rotarians were concerned
with promoting high ethical standards in their professional
lives. One of the world's most widely printed and quoted statements
of business ethics is The Four-Way Test, which was created
in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor and was officially adopted
by Rotary International in 1943. Rotarians worldwide work
to better their communities through adherence to the short
24 word test:
Of the
things we say, think 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?
