The club began its service to the communities of the world on April 10th 1973 with Charter President Mr. Ron Geyer (Dec.). Today one of the founders of this service club is still active member Past President Les Whorlow, we thank him for his on going commitment

and dedication. We presently have a membership of thirty eight dedicated professional and business people who have a passion to help the community whether it be local, national or international and we are an incorporated body. We meet at the Nook Cafe and

Wine Bar on Tuesdays at 6:30 for 7:00pm for dinner, where we have a lot of fun as well as instigating the important functions of

Rotary in providing service to the community.
