Rotary began over 100 years ago when a young lawyer organized a club which banned together representative business and professional persons where the members recapture the friendliness, concern and understanding of the small town life they had known as youngsters.  The Rotary custom is to know each other on a first name basis.

Rotary is not an organization of heroes.  It is composed of men and women who choose to serve for the privilege of doing so rather than for personal accolades.  Thus, Rotary is a service club which recognizes service is based on knowledge and the practical ethical principal that “He profits most who serves best.”

Cass Countians interested in making greater differences in the workplace, family and community are encouraged to contact any Rotarian or Club Representative, Jim Horne, phone (903) 796-4107 or email at horne50@aol.com.
