"In Rotary, our business is not profit. Our business is peace. Our reward is not money but the
happiness and satisfaction of seeing a better, more peaceful world — one that we have
achieved through our own efforts."

ROTARY INTERNATIONAL GUIDING PRINCIPLES
The Object of 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; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian's
occupation as an opportunity to serve 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.
Avenues of Service
Rotary's commitment to service is channeled through the avenues of service, which form the foundation of club activity.
Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the effective functioning of the club.
Vocational Service encourages Rotarians to serve others through their vocations and to practice high ethical standards.
Community Service covers the projects and activities the club undertakes to improve life in its community.
International Service encompasses actions to expand Rotary's humanitarian reach around the globe and to promote world understanding and peace.
New Generations Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults through leadership development activities.
Four Way Test
The test, which has been translated into more than 100 languages, asks the following questions:
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
Rotary Mission
The mission of Rotary International is to provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace
through its fellowship of business, professional and community leaders.
Rotary and Diversity
Rotary International recognizes the value of diversity within individual clubs. Rotary encourages clubs to assess those in their communities who are eligible for membership, under existing membership guidelines, and to endeavor to include the appropriate range of individuals in their clubs. A club that reflects its community with regard to professional and business classification, gender, age, religion, and ethnicity is a club with the key to its future.

Numbers tell the story – Alturas Rotary is celebrating its 85th anniversary this year. Our club was chartered January 24, 1928, club #517, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Susanville. Eventually the club became large enough to divide into two clubs and on May 1, 1997 Rotary Club of Alturas Sunrise was formed, sponsored by Alturas Rotary.
June 1 of this year Alturas Rotary will sponsor the 64th Annual Fish Derby, and June 14 and 15 we will be sponsoring the Junior Livestock Show for the 65th year. That’s a lot of sponsoring, and we plan to keep on going. The nice part is that each year we find more causes, locally and beyond, that benefit from our work and donations.
Speaking of numbers and dates, Dr. Jonas Salk began testing a polio vaccine in 1952 and announced its success on April 12, 1955, 58 years ago this month. Dr. Albert Sabin began trials for an oral vaccine in 1957 and licensed it in 1962, just seven years after Dr. Salk’s success.
Looking back at where we began and seeing where we are now gives us all a positive outlook at how much we can continue to accomplish. I like to call it the Rotary Power!
