About Us
Our members are part of a worldwide network of Rotarians who volunteer time, talent and treasure to make life better in their communities and for those at risk. We join with more than 1000 members of the other clubs in District 7475 in the belief that together we’re stronger and our communities are stronger because of our commitment. We have been an active part of the community since 1989. Our members meet weekly for fellowship, future planning, and at some meetings, an informative and interesting presentation from a guest speaker.
