sees to the efficient and smooth running of the Club and the encouragement of fellowship within the Club.
undertakes work in the community - especially for the aged, the young and the needy - by being a bridge between the need and the solution.  Here it is usual for Rotary to identify a need, initiate a project to satisfy that need, see to the smooth operation thereof, and finally to hand the project over to some external administrative body.  Rotary does not look to administer any one project indefinitely, but rather to act as a facilitator and to continually seek new challenges.
seeks to encourage and foster international understanding and goodwill among people as a basis for peace among nations.  It seeks to find ways to become good neighbours in the world neighbourhood by filling the gaps in our understanding of others, as well as in their understanding of us.
involves all Rotarians in the propagation of the "maintenance of high ethical standards in all trades and professions", both by example and by persuasion.  Representation of your classification emphasises the double challenge that in Rotary you represent your trade or profession, whilst in your trade or profession you represent the ideals of Rotary.
