What is Inner Wheel?
Inner Wheel was founded in support of Rotary in
Great Britain and Ireland during the 1920’s. Inner Wheel became
international in 1967 and now has clubs in 98 countries. Membership
is open to female relatives of all Rotarians who wish to get to know
one another and work together in friendship and understanding.
Belonging to Inner Wheel gives members the opportunity to share
friendships in Clubs and Districts in Great Britain and Ireland and
throughout the world.
The Inner Wheel Badge is a symbol of international
understanding, friendship and service.
Objectives of Inner Wheel
Inner Wheel concentrates on friendship and personal service. Each
Club selects its own charities and channels of service, though
raising money is not the main objective of Inner Wheel.
The objectives are:
To promote true friendship
To encourage the ideals of personal service
To foster international understanding
A member may visit another Inner Wheel club whether it be in her
own District, country or overseas, and is always assured of a warm
welcome. One of the greatest joys of Inner Wheel is the opportunity
given to members the world over to learn to know one another and to
exchange ideas.
