What is Rotary?

Rotary is where neighbors, friends, and problem-solvers share ideas, join leaders, and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves. Members of the Rotary Club of West Bend are:

  • Business Leaders
  • Professional Leaders
  • Community Leaders

The Club meets every Monday at 12:00 P.M. (noon) to network with other professionals, learn about current events in our community, and plan and implement service activities.
