Ruritan is a civic service organization with the purpose of
creating a better understanding between people and, through
volunteer community service, making America’s communities
a better place to live and work. The slogan of Ruritan is
Fellowship, Goodwill, and Community Service. Ruritan’s main purpose is to serve the community – the
center of American life. From the community comes our ideas,
our
integrity, our moral strength, and our leadership. Membership
in a Ruritan club is an honor and a privilege. Ruritan has no national project or program; instead each club surveys the needs of its own community and then works to meet those needs.
