top 5 reasons to join yakima rotary
- Friendship: In an increasingly complex world, Yakima Rotary provides one of the most basic human needs, the need for friendship, fellowship, and fun. Club meetings are fun, our projects are fun, and serving others is fun. The more than 35,000 Rotary clubs in more than 220 countries and geographical areas mean you have instant friends anywhere in the world.
- The Opportunity to Serve: This is perhaps the best reason for becoming a part of Yakima Rotary, the chance to do something for somebody else and to sense the self-fulfillment that comes in the process and return of that satisfaction to one’s own life. By providing services of all kinds, Rotarians make the world a better place.
- Business Development and Vocational Skills: Everyone needs to network. Rotary consists of a cross section of businesses and organizations throughout our community. Sharing our vocational skills and knowledge is not only personally rewarding but makes us better in our chosen fields.
- Youth & Family: Rotary provides one of the world’s largest youth exchange programs, and high school and college programs, Interact & Rotaract. Yakima Rotary sponsors two Interact clubs at Davis High School & Eisenhower High School. There are two Rotaract clubs in our community as well, one at YVC and one that is community-based. Family participation in volunteer and social activities is always encouraged.
- Ethical Environment: Encouraging high ethical standards in one’s profession and respect for all worthy vocations has been a hallmark of Rotary from its earliest days. Rotarians practice the 4-Way Test and are expected to be ethical in business and personal relationships.
