WHAT IS ROTARY? Rotary is a world-wide
organization whose purpose is development of fellowship and
understanding among the business and professional men and women in
the community, the promotion of community-betterment endeavors, high
standards in business and professional practices, and the
advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace.
The Rotary Foundation greatly influences worldwide understanding
through international fellowship and charitable contributions.
All Rotary clubs have one basic ideal - "SERVICE ABOVE SELF" which imbues thoughtfulness and
helpfulness to others.
Embracing the above statement of
purpose, the Rotary Club of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania is made up of
business and professional men and women in the greater Gettysburg
area. They support the Rotary Foundation, the official name of the
world-wide organization, the largest philanthropic association in
the world.

The Community Fund Of the Rotary Club of
Gettysburg
has been
established by the club to provide grants to non-profit
organizations that serve the needs of and improve the quality of
life for the communities of Gettysburg, Fairfield, Biglerville,
Arendtsville and surrounding areas in Adams County. The fund is also
used to benefit certain international projects that help improve the
quality of life in portions of the third world. Each year, the club
conducts two fund raising events whose entire profits are used
exclusively for the community fund. Those two events are the Capitol
Steps Show held at the Majestic Theater near April 1 and the Pasta
Dinner held each year at the Gettysburg Fire Company in
May.
