CLUB SERVICE

VOCATIONAL SERVICE

COMMUNITY SERVICE

INTERNATIONAL SERVICE

The committees of the Rotary Club of Evansville were established based on the Object  of

Rotary and how those objects define Rotary's Four Avenues of Service:

Club Service  Rotary's first Avenue of Service involves the actions Rotarians must

take within the club to help the club function successfully.

Vocational Service  Rotary's second Avenue of Service includes promoting

high ethical standards in business and professions, recognizing the worthiness of all

useful occupations, and fostering the ideal of service in the pursuit of all vocations. The

role of the club committees includes developing projects that help members contribute

their talents to meeting society's needs. The role of Rotarians includes conducting

themselves and their businesses in accordance with Rotary principles and responding

to projects developed by the club.

Community Service  Rotary's third Avenue of Service comprises varied efforts

that Rotarians make, sometimes in conjunction with others (e.g., a Rotaract Club or an

Interact Club), to improve the quality of life for those who live within their club's locality or municipality.

International Service  Rotary's fourth Avenue of Service comprises all the

things that a Rotarian can do to advance international understanding, goodwill, and peace

by getting acquainted with people of other countries, their cultures, customs, accomplish-

ments, aspirations, problems - through personal contacts, travel, and attendance at conventions, through reading and correspondence, and through cooperation in all club

activities and projects - including those of The Rotary Foundation - that will help people in other lands.

The Object of Rotary  is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:

First.

The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;

Second.

High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society;

Third.

The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business and community life;

Fourth.

The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
