What is Rotary?

Rotary is where neighbors, friends, and problem-solvers share ideas, join leaders, and take action to create lasting change.

Rotary unites more than a million people

Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.

We take action locally and globally

Each day, our members pour their passion, integrity, and intelligence into completing projects that have a lasting impact. We persevere until we deliver real, lasting solutions.

No challenge is too big for us

For more than 110 years, we’ve bridged cultures and connected continents to champion peace, fight illiteracy and poverty, promote clean water and sanitation, and fight disease.

About the Rotary Club of
Lynchburg-Morning

The Rotary Club of Lynchburg - Morning was chartered in June of 1987 with help from members of the Lynchburg Noon Club.  Since inception we have sought to bring together business & professional leaders in Lynchburg to provide humanitarian services, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and advance goodwill & peace around the world by reflecting the Rotary motto of "Service Above Self".

The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world.

Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects. With your help, we can make lives better in your community and around the world.
