Welcome Rotary Club of  The Four Way Test Of the things we think, say or do ... 1. Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOOD WILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? Service above Self Greetings from the Rotary Club of Silver City! Rotary is an organization of business and professional persons united  worldwide to provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical  standards in all vocations, and build good will and peace in the world.  Our club is dedicated to working toward these objectives through four  avenues of service: Club Service, Vocational Service, Community  Service, and International Service. We are one of seventy clubs in    Rotary District 5520, which covers New Mexico and West Texas and is  in turn part of Rotary International.     If you are interested in learning more about Rotary or our Club, you  may click the FAQ tab above or contact us at info@silvercityrotary.org.
