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.

The history of Homewood Rotary is more than just the story of a service club; it’s the history of a community.

Long, Long Ago…

Every Rotary Club in the world can trace its lineage at least indirectly back to 1905.  Paul Harris’ singular idea sparked not just an organization, but a movement that now spans the globe, counting well over one million members on six continents. 

Homewood joined that movement in its 31st year when Bill Michaels, Chicago Heights Rotarian and Governor of what was then District 40, suggested to Chuck Alexander and Sid Lee of the Harvey Club that they explore the possibilities of expansion into the growing town that sat astride the Illinois Central Railroad.  They, in turn, approached W.H. Taylor, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, and past president of the club in Harvard, Illinois.

"Of the things we think, say or do":

1. Is it the TRUTH?

2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?

3. Will it build GOODWILL & BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
