Welcome to the Website of
Rotary Cyprus
THE island of Cyprus lies at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea and is the home of nineteen Rotary Clubs united under the motto ‘Service above Self’.
We are part of Rotary District 2450 which covers nine countries (possibly ten in the near future) in three different continents, speaking different languages and having different cultures.
We are united under the one motto: ‘Service Above Self‘.
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
Based on the Object of Rotary, the Avenues of Service are the philosophical cornerstones of Rotary and the foundations on which club activity is based:
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 taken to expand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the globe and to promote world understanding and peace.
The Four-Way Test
The test, which has been translated into more than 100 languages, asks the following questions of the things we think, say or do
- Is it the truth?
- Is it fair to all concerned?
- Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
- Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
