Rotary is short for Rotary International. Service
above Self is Rotary’s motto. It is a world-wide association of
local clubs for business and professional men and women who:
• provide humanitarian service to the community at local, national
and international level • encourage high ethical standards in all
vocations • work for goodwill and peace in the world
And what is Ware Rotary Club?
The Rotary Club of Ware is an organisation of like minded business
and professional people who want to put a little back into the
community both on a local and international scale, at the same time
as enjoying good fellowship and forging lasting friendships.
Our membership is open to all and currently
numbers in the upper 30's, professions represented range from
Butchers and Bakers to Accountants and Solicitors with a variety in
between.
We meet in the heart of Ware, at the Priory, a
14th century ancient monument in seven acre riverside grounds. The
River Lea is renowned on this stretch for its original 18th century
gazebos.
