A note from our President
"Rotary isn't just something we do — it's who we are."
Welcome to the Summerville Evening Rotary Club! We're thrilled to have you visit our website — and more importantly, to introduce you to a club built on connection, purpose, and service.
Celebrating our 15th anniversary, we're one of three Rotary clubs in the area and proudly serve as a close-knit group of nearly 40 members who span generations and professions. From Millennials to Boomers, educators to entrepreneurs, we come together with a shared mission: to do good in our community and beyond — while having a lot of fun along the way.
If any part of our mission speaks to you, come to a meeting, lend a hand at a service project, or simply say hello. Let's unite for good — together.

Member testimonial
Why Rotarians stay.
My journey with the Summerville Evening Rotary has been one of growth, service, and friendship. In my personal life, adopting the four-way test has had a positive effect on every aspect — family, friends, business, and community. The club has given me lifelong friends and an opportunity to give back as we fight to end polio. The Rotary group here is warm, inviting, helpful, fun, gracious, and hands-on.
