Welcome To Our Club!

Welcome to Worcester Rotary!
We are one of the oldest clubs in the Rotary International organization, having been established in March, 1912, and have been in continuous operation since that time. The Worcester Rotary was formed just seven years after the first Rotary Club
was established in Illinois, and it was assigned charter number 51.
Today there are over 32,000 clubs located in 168 countries with over
1.2 million Rotarians.
Rotary
is a worldwide organization of business and professional leaders that
provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all
vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world.
As a service organization, the Club works with and provides support to many Worcester area nonprofits through 26 standing committees. Some examples of the many recent recipients of Rotary support are Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Girls Inc., Boys and Girls Scouts, Plumley Village, Dynamy, Centro Las Americas. Salisbury Singers, Fresh Air Fund, You Inc., YMCA and the YWCA. The club membership represents nearly every type of business or profession. Rotarians are guided by a four-way test which measures words and actions by their truthfulness, fairness, goodwill and benefits to all.
