Owego Rotary Club

Owego Rotary Club
Owego, New York

The Owego Rotary Club is one of over 32,000 clubs in 170 countries that make up Rotary International. Our club is made up of business and professional leaders from our local community. The objectives of Rotary are to provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.

The Rotary International President, Wilfrid J. Wilkinson, has selected "Rotary Shares" for the 2007-2008 RI theme. He chose this theme to emphasize his commitment to sharing Rotary with others through both service and the recruitment of new members. Our RI president will continue the emphasis on projects that address clean water, literacy, health and hunger, and family of Rotary. More about this year's theme can be found in President Wilkinson's Rotary theme brochure (PDF File).

One of the Owego Rotary Club projects is the planting and maintenance of three flower beds at the entrances to the Village of Owego. Shown here are the flower beds on Taylor Road (left) and North Avenue (right).

OBJECT OF ROTARY

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:

The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
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;
The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life;
The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

THE FOUR-WAY TEST

of the things we think, say or do:

Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Will it build GOOD WILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
