Rotary History | The Object of Rotary | The Four-Way Test | How Rotary is Organized 

Rotary is based on Four Avenues of Service:  Club Service, Vocational Service, Community Service, and International Service.

Club Service involves all of the activities necessary for Rotarians to perform to make their club function successfully.

Vocational Service is a description of the opportunity each Rotarian has to represent the dignity and utility of one's vocation to the other members of the club.

Community Service pertains to those activities that Rotarians undertake to improve the quality of life in their community.  It frequently involves assistance to youth, the aged, handicapped and others who look to Rotary as a source of hope for a better life.

International Service describes the many programs and activities that Rotarians undertake to advance international understanding, goodwill and peace.  International Service projects are designed to meet humanitarian needs of people in many lands.

The Rotary Club of Marshall is organized with a Vice President for each area of Service, each of whom is responsible for recruiting volunteers to work on the various projects in their area.
