Dear club members, it was a sad week for our club with the passing of two of our Rotarians, John Gaeth and John Guagenti. Please continue to keep both families in your thoughts and prayers during this time.

Welcome to the Rotary Club of Lima’s website. I personally invite you to have a look at what Rotary has to offer you and what’s in store for the upcoming year!
A question, we as Rotarians get asked is, “What is Rotary?” Rotary is a global network of 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who come together to make positive, lasting change not only in the communities live but also communities abroad.
The Rotary Club of Lima was established in 1915 and currently has approximately 170 members of the Club. Rotarians create a global network of community business leaders, who share the common mission of promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, saving mothers and children, supporting education, and growing local communities.
Rotarians live their lives by following what is known as the “Four Way Test”. When making decisions we ask ourselves: 1) Is it the Truth?, 2) Is it Fair to all Concerned?, 3) Will it Build Goodwill and Better Friendships?, 4) Will it be Beneficial to all Concerned?
Each year, the Rotary International President chooses a theme to unify the 35,000 clubs that exist in over 200 countries. The theme selected by Rotary International President Mark Maloney for year 2019-2020 is, “Rotary Connects the World."
I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as President for the 2019-2020 in a club with a history of making a difference in our community. Each of our past presidents has brought many new thoughts and ideas to our club and it will be my goal to continue this rich heritage.
WHAT WE DO: We have many events which includes our spring and fall blood clinics, Rex Perry golf tournament, Dictionary Distribution, Post-Secondary Scholarships, International Global Water Project, among many other fun events and projects. However, polio eradication is Rotary’s top philanthropic priority. It is the world’s largest public-private health initiative, partnering with governments, international organizations, and countless local and regional health agencies to eradicate polio.
We meet each Monday at 12 PM at the Lima Veterans Civic Center in the North Hall along with social gatherings once a month from 5PM-6PM at the Met.
If you are a visiting Rotarian, please join us for a weekly meeting. If you are interested in learning more about Rotary in our community, we encourage you to go to
for more information.
To find out more about Rotary around the world visit the Rotary International website at www.rotary.org.
It is with great enthusiasm that I invite you to join us as “Rotary Connects the World”.
