About Rotary - Lincolnton Sunrise 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:

FIRST: The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;

SECOND: High ethical standards in business and professions;

recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying

of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to service 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.

There are two responsibilities of a member of the Rotary Club

of Lincolnton Sunrise and Rotary International: First is ATTENDANCE;

the second is PARTICIPATION. Each member is expected to strive for

100% attendance, either at the regular weekly breakfast Meetings, by

making up the missed meeting at another Rotary Club, at an official

club meeting, or district/Rotary International function. In addition, each

member is expected to support each project or fundraiser approved by

the Board of Directors with enthusiasm and hands–on participation, as

well as financially within his/her means. Each member is also

encouraged to become a Sustaining Member of The Rotary

Foundation. Finally, each member is expected to conduct his/her

actions in accordance with the FOUR WAY TEST of Rotary and

to live the OBJECT OF ROTARY.

Members who are absent from three consecutive meetings,

will be reminded of their commitment with a notification letter. Upon

absence of the fourth meeting, it is understood that the member has

forfeited his or her membership.
