John Ficorilli
Welcome to the Rotary Club of Lima’s website.
Rotary is a global network of 1.2 million 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.
Our club was founded in 1915, and has contributed a lot to the Lima area. You might know us by one of our projects:
- Blood clinics
- Dictionary distribution
- Rex Perry Golf Outing that funds post-secondary scholarships
- Rotary Riverwalk
- Greater Lima Region Park & Amphitheater *NEW*
We also participate in global grant projects around the world.

Rotary Opens Opportunities
We need your involvement in the new year to make the Lima Rotary Club better than ever.
President Ken passed the torch to President John at Monday's Changing of the Guard.
It is with sadness that we share the news that our long-time friend and Rotary Club server with the Milano Club, E. June Miller has passed.
The Lima Rotary Club and the Greater Lima Region have announced the name of the downtown amphitheater.
It is with deep regret that I inform the Lima Rotary Club of the passing of long time Rotarian Ralph Ellis on June 23, 2020. Ralph joined our club on November 1, 1972 equating to 47 years and 8 months as a member and a true Rotarian. Ralph had many friends with in our Club and will certainly be missed by many. Please keep the Ellis family in your thoughts and prayers. Visitation with the Ellis family will be this Saturday June 27th from 1 – 4 PM at Chiles Shawnee Chapel. Memorial donations may be made in his name to the West Ohio Food Bank at www.westohiofoodbank.org
