Welcome to the Faribault Rotary Club!

Rotary International is the world's first service club organization, with more than 1.2 million members in 33,000 clubs worldwide. Rotary club members are volunteers who work locally, regionally, and internationally to combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, provide education and job training, promote peace, and eradicate polio under the motto Service Above Self.
The Faribault Rotary Club was established 105 years ago on May 1, 1920 as Rotary's 596th club with 22 charter members and by the end of the first year membership had reached a total of 35. The next year 21 more members were added. The first President of the Faribault Rotary Club was Frank W. McKellip. On June 25, 2025 the Faribault Rotary Club installed its 106th President, Mark Kenney, for the 2025-26 Rotary Year. On May 1, 2020 we celebrated our 100 years as a club.
