Rotary International is a humanitarian service organization that brings together business and professional leaders in order to provide community service, promote integrity, and advance goodwill, peace, and understanding in the world.  Rotary boasts a global network of more than 1.4 million people of action in more than 46,000 clubs who share a passion for and commitment to enhancing communities and improving lives around the world. Rotary and Rotaract clubs exist in almost very country. 

Our members change lives locally and connect with other clubs to work on international projects that address today’s most pressing challenges. They take action and make a difference, and it brings them personal rewards and lifelong friendships in the process.  It is a non-political and non-religious organization.

The name Rotary was selected by early members because meeting locations rotated among their offices. 

The Rotary Club of Summersville was chartered in 2006 and is part of Rotary International, the world’s oldest service organization with 1.2 million members in over 200 countries.  Club members meet weekly to share vision, fellowship and listen to interesting and informative guest speakers. Members also volunteer their time and talent to support local service projects.  Rotarians are volunteers who work to address many hunger, health, and humanity issues and the primary focus is to help those less fortunate. 

Our members embrace the Rotary philosophy of  "Service Above Self."
