Rotary is an international organization of people with clubs all over the world. By joining Rotary you become a part of a worldwide family. When you travel, one of the highlights will be to attend a Rotary meeting. Your Rotary family anywhere in the world will welcome you warmly. Rotary performs international service, like working to eradicate polio and providing water wells and medical supplies. Our Rotary Club prides itself on its local service like Youth Programs, Incline Village Rotary Flower Garden, building and maintaining bus shelters, the Lake Tahoe Overlook, High School Interact Service Club, High School Music and Speech Contests, and support for local non-profits. Come to a meeting Monday at noon at 948 Incline Way to see if you might like to join! Scroll down and you will see Opportunities for You to join in and Serve!
