Seaside Rotary

ABOUT THE SEASIDE ROTARY CLUB

Organized on December 4, 1947 , the Rotary Club of Seaside started with 39 members. The club draws its membership from the beach towns, from the Dover/Brick line to Island Beach State Park , Pelican Island and adjacent communities:

Annual fundraisers enable Seaside Rotary to offer charitable assistance to individuals and organizations in need, and to perform numerous service projects that enhance the quality of life of all of the shore communities.

This seaside area club welcomes men and women from diversified business and professional vocations. In its leadership role as a service organization, Seaside Rotary extends membership to people who will voluntarily and willingly dedicate themselves to the ideals of Rotary international and a commitment to "Service Above Self"

A Rotarians' life is guided by the 4-Way Test of the things they think, say and 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?
