Rotary’s business is humankind and its product is service.
We are professionals who share a passion for and a commitment to enhancing communities and improving lives across the globe.
With clubs in almost every country, and across Shelby County there’s no limit to what we can do. We work together to exchange ideas, apply expertise, and implement improvements that transform communities.
Rotary has been dedicated to service for over 100 years and has grown into a worldwide organization with a respected foundation. The Memphis Central Rotary Foundation enables Rotary Memphis Central to partner and receives grants to carry out service projects all over the Memphis and Mid-South area.
