Rotary, now more than 100 years old, is the world’s first service
club organization. The 1.2 million men and women of Rotary are
business and professional leaders dedicated to making a difference in communities around the world through the credo
“Service Above Self.”
What we do... Members are volunteers who work on both local
and international projects to combat hunger, improve health and
sanitation, provide education and job training, promote peace
and eradicate polio. For over 75 years, students and host families have broadened their horizons through Rotary Youth
Exchange.
Our Dallas club has accomplished projects like Rotary Park on
Fern Avenue, the Tennis Courts and soccer fields near the Dallas
Aquatic Center and the Rotary Stage at the Academy Building.
To find out if Rotary is for you, visit one of our Tuesday lunch
meetings at the Dallas Civic Center at 12 noon. We’ll be looking
for you!
