Second: 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;
Third: The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life;
Fourth: The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

In 1901 Emma Kunkle Divine, a 17-year-old Salvation Army volunteer, discovered that the busy people in the streets of New York were painfully slow in responding to the needy. What could one teenage girl do to reach so many? Emma bought a small bell and started ringing it to attract donors. The donations rolled in and soon the entire Salvation Army was ringing little bells across the nation.
Do you have a cause? If so, find your bell and ring it. Let no one tell you that the problems of the world are too big to tackle, or that one person like you can't make a difference.

Chartered on February 23, 1993, the Rotary Club of Downtown Davao (RCDD) started as an all-women club with 26 lady executives of various professions and vocations. The whole Rotary world was then celebrating the 88th Founding Anniversary of Rotary International when RCDD became the 29,258th Rotary club all over the world, and the 79th club in District 3860. Led by Charter President Evelyn “Len” A. Magno, RCDD on its first year was already blazing the trail and raising the bar for Rotary clubs in the District with a mark of excellence. Eleven (11) new members were inducted during the charter year, making a total membership of thirty-seven (37) women.
RCDD IS a multi-awarded service club in Davao City, a consistent recipient of annual District awards. In RY 1998-1999, RCDD won all the major district awards as the “Most Outstanding Club, President, Secretary, and club bulletin- The Professionals.” It was a grand slam, besting then all 99 clubs in District 3860. RCDD is a 100% Paul Harris Fellow Club, and topping the annual list of club donors to The Rotary Foundation (TRF).
RCCD became a mixed club in RY 2018-2019 when two gentlemen were inducted to the Roster of Membership, the former PNP Chief Archie Francisco F. Gamboa and businessman Paulino B. Ko.. RY 2022-2023 starts with 27 members, 27 female, and 6 male members. twelve (12) are aged 40 and below.
The Downtowners are easily identified in their apple green blazers during formal and official Rotary events, and in their uniform club t-shirts during service project activities. They meet regularly every first Wednesday of the month at 12:00 noon. Fellowships are held during weekends.
