New generation service

Fundamentally Rotary is a philosophy of life that further crystallizes into a philosophy of service - “service above self”. The community service Director has to lead the club to translate this philosophy into objective activity. It is the social responsibility of every Rotarian and Rotary Club to improve the quality of life for those who live in the community.
