Rotarian basically work on projects related to community service like:holding blood donation, cleanning beach, visting orphange old age helping them out,holding medical camps ,basically this avenu is related to socal service. Club service: This avenue cover doining something for its member, like holding self development camps, going for pinnic,holding competion , fashion show , quizz among it member of roatary. This avenus works for member of roatary.There is also RYLA (roatary youth leadership awards)that happen on large scale. its really fun. International service: Bascailly this avenus covers any project done outside territory like i was in roatary district 3140, so any project done out side 3140 comes under international.

hmm , its like 18- 30 they come in youth, and above 30 they come elder group.If you wish to jion any one one then you go personally meet people ask them about how they feel what project do they do . Also one more thing, if there are many rotart club in your localiites then you should pick and choose to get in those that are very active,doing something project. Because if you choose to get in some inactive then you will not able enjoy in fully. Bascally when join some rotary join that rotary club that are doing active and having good people then you too will enjoy with them
