Rotarians are business
and professional leaders who take an active role in their
communities while greatly enriching their personal and professional
lives. A Rotary club contains a diverse group of professional
leaders from the community that the club serves.
Membership in a Rotary club offers
a number of benefits,
including:
effecting change within the
community;
advancing business and
professional contacts;
developing leadership skills;
gaining an understanding of - and
having an impact on - international humanitarian issues.

programs, the Rotary Club of Oak Bay has
a significant effect on the quality of life in the

to form international partnerships that help people
in need worldwide. Some 1.2 million Rotarians in 30,000

contributions to the quality of life at home and around
