What is Rotary?

Rotary club members are business and professional leaders who volunteer in their communities and promote world understanding and peace. Rotary's 31,000 clubs in more than 165 countries and regions encourage high ethical standards and carry out humanitarian projects to address such issues as poverty, health, hunger, education and the environment.

Through more than $95 million dollars in Rotary Foundation grants each year, Rotary clubs support community projects at home and abroad. Known as the world's largest private provider of international education scholarships, The Rotary Foundation funds more than 1,000 students overseas and act as cultural ambassadors. Rotary also partners with eight prestigious universities around the globe to educate mid career professionals in peace and conflict resolution.

Polio Plus is Rotary's flagship program. Rotary club members have contributed over $800 million dollars, and countless volunteer hours, to help immunize over two billion children against polio.

Founded in Chicago in 1905 as the world's first volunteer service organization, Rotary quickly expanded around the globe. Clubs meet weekly for fellowship to discuss local and global topics. Clubs are nonreligious, nongovernmental and open to every race, culture and creed. 

Locally, the Rotary Club of Weston & Wayland has been active in community service projects such as the Weston Town Common Steps and Walkway project, supporting Bristol Lodge in Waltham and more. The Rotary Club provides scholarships to high school students in Wayland and Weston which are funded by the net proceeds from the Weston Antique and Classic Car Show held each year on the Weston Town Hall Road.
