President's Message

Welcome to the Marion-East Cedar Rapids Rotary Club website. Chartered in 1969, our growing club is currently made up of over 50 men and women that are actively involved in serving our local community as well as internationally. We have opportunities to be involved in almost any area that you are passionate about!

 

The Rotary motto is “Service Above Self” and I am honored to work with fellow club members who volunteer to help others.

 

Our goals for this year include continuing to support programs such as our Shoes for Kids project, as well as Rotary International’s humanitarian efforts which includes world Polio eradication. Currently there are only two countries in the world (Pakistan and Afghanistan) which have cases of polio.  We are very optimistic that complete eradication is very close to happening.

 

Within our community our club supports Boy Scouts activities and Interact Clubs (Interact gives students ages 12-18 the chance to make a real difference while having fun!) and we hold several fundraising events during the year, which include our Marion-East Cedar Rapids Annual Waffle Breakfast, the Rotary Concert in the Park and the Marion Airport Fly In – Drive In Breakfast.

 

Experience firsthand the “goodwill and better friendships” shared by our members.
We meet every week for an interesting program, a delicious lunch and enjoyable fellowship.   

Visitors are encouraged and welcome!
