The Rotary Club of Parole (Annapolis) is comprised of approximately 90 members, who enthusiastically share and demonstrate on a daily basis the Rotary philosophy. Our vision statement is "We will make a positive difference for youth today, so they will make a difference tomorrow."  We are a service club that significantly improves lives in our local community and around the world by meeting real needs.

Our main objective is service — in the community, in the workplace and throughout the globe. Rotarians develop community service projects that address many of today's most critical issues---children at risk, poverty, hunger, the environment, illiteracy and violence. We also support programs for youth; educational opportunities and international exchanges for students, teachers, and other professionals; and vocational and career development. Rotary’s guiding principle is Service Above Self.

Our Club's signature project is the Books for International Goodwill Foundation, which takes used books for shipment to needy schools and libraries, and since 1995, has saved books from the landfill and shipped over 3 million books to help spread literacy throughout the world.

Rotary is an international organization of business and professional leaders united through a shared commitment to humanitarian service. We Rotarians are dedicated to fostering goodwill and peace around the world while upholding high ethical standards in the conduct of our vocational and professional endeavors.
