Is Rotary/rotaract a freemasonic group or is it related anyhow to freemasonry?

They are different groups. While I'm not in the Rotary, my understanding is it is more for Business owners to gather. I could be wrong though. I'm sure you can join both if interested.

I agree with Jason, Rotary is comprised of Business owners / Leaders who join together to inform those who are interested and those who need a helping hand with contacts in the business world. To my knowledge there is no masonic connection, with the exception of course a mason being a member of Rotary.

I guess that there is a fairly large crossover between the two organisations. It would seem to me that the organistations attract individuals with a similar mindset.

Traveler, I've heard of Rotary before, but I've never heard of rotaract. Can you tell me what it is?
