 Greetings from the officers and members
of the
Rotary Club of Scott Valley
(Fort Jones, CA, State of Jefferson, USA).
Chartered on February 9th 1988, we are a small club, less than 30 Rotarians, working
with youth, helping our community and playing an active part in International
and World Community Service. Please take some time to visit our web
site, learn more about us and perhaps join us sometime for fellowship and
service to our community.
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.

About Rotary
The world's Rotary clubs meet weekly and are nonpolitical,
nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds.
Rotarians develop community service projects that address many of
today's most critical issues, such as children at risk, poverty and
hunger, the environment, illiteracy, and violence. We also support
programs for youth, educational opportunities and international
exchanges for students, teachers, and other professionals, and
vocational and career development.
The organization’s efforts also include extraordinary work in the
eradication of Polio. Along with global partners, Rotarians have
given of their time and financial resources to rid the world of this
dreaded disease. Currently, four countries remain endemic and the
final phase will be the most costly and challenging to complete. To
date, Rotarians have contributed over US600-million dollars to this
effort and hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours.
Additionally, more than a billion dollars have been donated to
Rotary International programs that provide Matching Grants, Disaster
Relief, Humanitarian International projects, Youth and Adult
Exchange Programs and Rotary Peace Fellowships.
Rotary holds the highest consultative status offered to a
nongovernmental organization (NGO) by the United Nations Economic
and Social Council. This is an extraordinary example of Rotary's
status as a world leader in the pursuit of humanitarian service to
mankind.
