... is the motto of Rotary International President Wilfrid J. Wilkinson Rotary Shares.
On February 23, 1905, Paul Harris, a Chicago lawyer, met with three friends to create an organization fostering fellowship between business people. They called this organization "Rotary," because members met in rotation in their various places of business. Rotary is an organization of business and professional leaders united worldwide, who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. Today Rotary International has approximately 1.2 million Rotarians, members of more than 32,000 Rotary clubs in more than 160 countries.
I am a past president of the Mahanoy City (PA, USA) club and currently club secretary of the Kutztown (PA, USA) club. I am webmaster for the Kutztown Rotary Club.

The International Fellowship of Scouting Rotarians (IFSR) is one of more than ninety Rotary Fellowship and Action Groups established to bring together Rotarians with similar interests from around the world.
It is made up of Rotarians who are or were, also, Scouters.
The aim of IFSR is to develop a strong association internationally between Rotarians and associates who are, or have been, active members and/or supporters of the Scout Movement including national organizations that are members of the World Organization of Scout Movements (WOSM) or the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS).
Membership of IFSR is open to any Rotarian in good standing, Rotary spouse or partner or family member or associate who is presently (or has formerly been) a member and/or supporter of WOSM or WAGGGS organizations.
The IFSR's Cliff Dochterman Award may be awarded by a local Rotary Club or District Governor to an active Rotarian who has rendered exemplary service to Scouting. Information and a nomination form is available HERE as a PDF document
I am a Cliff Dochterman Award recipient, life member of IFSR, and a Co-webmaster of their website: http://ifsr-net.org
