Lake Elmo community members came together in June of 2005 with a desire to create service opportunities, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and to advance goodwill and peace around the world. On June 30, 2005 Lake Elmo Rotary Club was chartered.
The Lake Elmo Rotary Club is one of about 32,000 clubs in 172 countries and geographic regions. Lake Elmo Rotary Club is one of 68 clubs in Southeast Minnesota and Western Wisconsin with over 3400 members, which comprise Rotary District 5960, one of 526 Districts worldwide.
Founded in 1905 by Paul Harris in Chicago, Illinois, as the world's first volunteer service organization, Rotary quickly expanded around the globe. The first club met in rotation in member’s offices, thus the name Rotary. Clubs meet regularly for fellowship to discuss local and global topics. Clubs are non-religious, non-governmental, and open to every race, culture, and creed.
As Rotarians, we are part of a worldwide group of over 1,200,000 members committed to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
- The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service.
- High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying by each Rotarian of his/her occupation as an opportunity to serve society.
- The application of the ideal of service by every Rotarian to his/her personal, business, and community life.
- The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional men/women united in the ideal of service.
The Four-Way Test
Of the things we think, say or do...
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOOD WILL AND BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
- Will it be FUN? Our Club added this because we want to have FUN while we serve!
