Dear Visitor,
Welcome to the Lake Chelan Rotary Club! Rotary began in Chicago over 119 years ago in 1905. Our own club was founded in 1926. As we approach our 100 year anniversary of service to the Lake Chelan Valley in 2026, we continue to follow the motto of “Service above Self” to build up our local community and communities abroad.
‘What exactly does a Lake Chelan Rotarian do?’ you may ask. You will find us in the Lake Chelan Valley, reading to students in elementary school classrooms, cleaning up trash on the highway or at a local park, teaching high school students about entrepreneurship, giving annual scholarships at Chelan and Manson high schools, at Earth Day promoting how we can preserve planet Earth, and in Kenya building schools, bathrooms, and water tanks for rural villages.
Internationally, Rotary is a service organization composed of 1.2M neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
This year’s international theme is “The Magic of Rotary”. Each Rotarian shares their talents, treasure or time to make an impact that collectively makes a big difference in the community. Our goal is to create a little ‘magic’ through our service projects and make the lives of those in our community better.
Are you interested in learning more about an organization of “people of action” who create lasting change? If so, please email me and plan on attending one of our lunch meetings to learn more.
Yours in Service,
Kim Dunbar
Lake Chelan Rotary President, 2024-2025
