THE RURITAN MISSION
Ruritan is a national organization dedicated to improving communities and building a better America through Fellowship, Goodwill and Community Service.
The name Ruritan was suggested by Daisy Nurney, a reporter for the
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot newspaper.
The word is a combination of the Latin words for open country "ruri" and small town "tan", interpreted as pertaining to rural and small town life ... that's us. |
Objectives
|
To promote fellowship and goodwill among its members and the citizens
in the community, and to inspire each other to higher efforts by:
- Getting together at monthly meetings
- Working together on committees and various activities
- Striving to create harmony in the community
|
To create greater understanding between rural and urban people about the problems of each, as well as about their mutual problems by striving, where possible, to maintain both rural and urban representation in the club membership.

For every $100 spent in
locally owned independent
stores, $68 returns to the
community through taxes,
payroll, and other expenditures!
When those dollars are
spent in national chains,
only $43 stays here.
