How We're Helping
We are a community-based organization focused on helping make the world around us a better, happier place. With the help of our tireless members, we organize fundraisers, exciting community-building events, and in-depth training sessions for our volunteers.
As Rotary International members, we abide by the Four-Way Test when evaluating our actions:
- Is it the truth?
- Is it fair to all concerned?
- Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
- Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

Check out this great video on Rotary International's Fellowship Clubs. Access to hundreds of Fellowship Clubs worldwide is one of the benefits of membership to Vail AZ Rotary Club
One of Rotary’s most colorful traditions is members’ exchanging club banners. Clubs display their own decorative banners at meetings and district events, and Rotarians who travel to other countries often take these banners to exchange with the clubs they visit.
