Rotary Fact

What is the Rotary Code of Conduct?

As a Rotarian, I will:

  1. Act with integrity and high ethical standards in my personal and professional life.
  2. Deal fairly with others and trust them and their occupations with respect.
  3. Use my professional skills through Rotary to mentor young people, help those with special needs, and improve people’s quality of life in my community and in the world.
  4. Avoid behavior that reflects adversely on Rotary and other Rotarian.

Rotary Online Auction

Planning is underway for our third annual online auction.

Please consider whether you or your friends and family members have any high-end items that could be added to this year's auction. For example, a large percentage of our proceeds in both 2024 and 2025 came from vacation rentals – do you have access to a phenomenal vacation spot? If so, please connect with Marta Jones-Turner. 

The auction will end on Thursday, Dec. 3 at our annual holiday party. Proceeds from the auction will help fund our club's community service, youth projects and other programs throughout the year. 

Sign up to attend the event here.
