THE OBJECT OF ROTARY
To encourage and foster the ideal of Service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
1. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
2. High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations;
and the dignifying by each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society
3. The application of the ideal of Service of each Rotarian’s person, business and community life;
4. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of Service
Service in the Rotary sense is a mental process.
It is an attitude of mind which relates persons and things with action. THOUGHTFULNESS FOR OTHERS is the
basis of service.
HELPFULNESS TO OTHERS is its expression.
“HE PROFITS MOST WHO SERVES BEST”
Saltash Rotary Club is part of Rotary International a worldwide organisation of men and women who work together to give service to others locally, nationally and internationally. Rotarians commit time to practical hands-on work such as organising events like Youth Speaks, Young Chef, Kids Out,and Santa's sleigh, supporting local initiatives - May Fair, The Christmas Parade and the Saltash Regatta. Fund raising helps to pay for these local good causes plus significant projects in other less developed countries giving clean water, shelter, schooling, replacement limbs and relief from diseases like polio and malaria.
Rotarians in Saltash concentrate on making their work fun and good days out have been had decorating at the Burraton Community Centre, Gardening at the Shado Centre and Stewarding at open days at Trematon Hall and Ince Castle. We take a pride in our town, the Rotary provided and sponsored welcome signs at Carkeel, and the Floral boats at the Bridge slip roads help to provide a welcome to all who visit
