Vision statement
Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
Our impact: When we pool our resources, talents, and passion, we can do so much more together than we can do alone.
We connect people: Through Rotary clubs people from all continents and cultures unite to exchange ideas and form friendships and professional connections while making a difference.
We think differently: Our members’ diverse and multidisciplinary perspectives help us see challenges in unique ways. Members use their leadership and expertise to address social issues — and find unique solutions
We transform ourselves : Through Rotary, our members are exposed to new thoughts, professions, and opportunities to broaden their perspectives. From regular meetings and club projects to fundraisers and networking events, our members develop skills that help make them better individuals, community leaders, humanitarians, and internationalists.
We solve problems: No challenge is too big for us.
We transform communities: Each day, our members pour their passion, integrity, and intelligence into humanitarian projects that have a lasting impact. We persevere until we deliver real, long-term solutions to the issues our communities face. Each year, we dedicate 16 million volunteer hours and over 1,500 grants to improving quality of life for others. There are many ways you can get involved in Rotary to connect with your club, your community, and the world. To get the most from your Rotary experience, get involved in ways that align with your own interests and passions.
The R.C.V. Coco De Mer invites you to join our club and become part the rotary family. Come join us in our journey of service where we serve to change lives.

Object of Rotary:
To encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
- The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
- High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
- The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business and community life;
- The advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
The conduct of Rotarians is governed by the “Four Way Test”:
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
