Why Join Rotary?

Are you a business or community leader who enjoys creating life-long friendships, professional networking with other business leaders, volunteering to help improve your community, and staying informed on current local and national issues?

Then consider joining the Rotary Club of Salt Lake City where you can experience all of this and more!

Our club is 165+ members strong and meets every Tuesday to gather with friends, work with Rotary committees, and hear local and national leaders speak on important topics concerning our community, our nation and the world. The luncheons are from Noon to 1:00 PM and provide a wonderful opportunity to enrich your life and the lives of others.

Where Rotary International Began

In Chicago 1905, the first Rotary Club was founded as an organization where business and professional leaders could gather in friendship and serve their communities. While it is often difficult to make a difference on your own, Rotary International’s vision is to bring diverse, likeminded individuals together to improve the lives of people in their communities, their nations and around the world. Since its founding, Rotary International’s motto of “Service Above Self” has been embraced by more than 1.2 million people of all races and creeds in 33,000 clubs worldwide.

In 1911, the 24th Rotary Club was founded in Salt Lake City. For 100 years, our club and its members have addressed a wide range of humanitarian and community issues: from tutoring at local elementary and middle schools, to building community parks and roads, to fighting polio overseas, and much more. 

Rotary Opportunities - What We Do

  • Attend weekly luncheon meetings that include excellent speakers and great networking opportunities.
  • Participate in community service, both locally and internationally, through serving on one or more of Club 24’s two dozen committees.
  • Visit other Clubs in our area and when traveling, making new connections with Rotarians at home and when away from home.

Rotary Objective - "Service Above Self"

Rotary was formed to encourage and foster the ideal of service.  In embracing this ideal we promote:

  1. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service.
  2. High ethical standards in business and profession; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying by each Rotarian of their occupation as an opportunity to serve society.
  3. The application of the ideal of service by every Rotarian to his personal, business and community life.
  4. The advancement of international understanding, good will and peace through a world fellowship of business and professionals, united in the ideal of service.
