The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
SECOND. High ethical standards in business and
professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each
Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society; THIRD.
The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life;
