Meet Club President Dave Masters
 
 
 

Welcome to the official website for the Rotary Club of Northbrook

We are a dedicated group of volunteers committed to making a positive impact—both in our local community and around the world. At the heart of our mission is the belief that acts of kindness, large and small, can create meaningful and lasting change in the lives of those we serve.

As part of Rotary International—a global network of clubs devoted to service—we strive to build a better world through fellowship, leadership, and action.

I’m honored to serve as President of the Rotary Club of Northbrook for the 2025–26 year. As I reflect on my more than 30 years as a Northbrook Rotarian, I’m inspired by the incredible service our Club has provided to humanity.

Yet, there is still more to be done. The world needs Rotary—and our commitment to Service Above Self—now more than ever.

This year will bring some changes for our Club, but our mission and values remain steadfast. I invite all of our members, as well as our broader community, to join me in making this our best year yet!

Please contact me with any questions at President@northbrookrotary.org

Be a part of something amazing!
World’s Largest Polio Walk scheduled for October 24, 2026, the current participation plans are centered around a large-scale collaboration across the central United States: 
Scope of Participation
  • Target Districts: The primary push is coming from Rotary Zones 25B and 29, which collectively represent a massive footprint across the Midwest and Central United States.
  • Geographic Reach: The event is designed to span multiple states, with organizers from District 6440 (Illinois) coordinating with clubs throughout the central U.S. to ensure a unified start time of 10:00 a.m. CDT.
  • While a final "club count" for 2026 is still growing, the zones involved typically represent hundreds of clubs.
How to prepare! Get a team together to fundraise. Here is some inspiration from our fellow Rotarians:  https://youtu.be/bPXU4YythnM
