The Muncie Rotary Club, affiliated with the global service organization Rotary International, was founded in 1917 by a group of local business executives, professionals and community leaders. Muncie Rotary is a catalyst for community leadership, professional development, friendships, service and international understanding.  The Club meets on Tuesdays at noon at Minnetrista for lunch, networking, a business meeting and a feature program.  Membership is by invitation.

The Club has more than 80 members, who participate in local, district and international projects.  For more information visit the Club website www.muncierotary.org or Muncie Rotary Club on Facebook.

 

Paul Harris and three business associates founded Rotary International in 1905, in Chicago. The locations for the early club meetings rotated using each of the member’s offices – thus the name Rotary Club. The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise.  The Rotary motto is “Service Above Self.”
