Congratulations to our Lima Rotary Club for getting the District 6600 Significant Achievement award for the Opiate/Homelessness Project. It was the first time our club was awarded this certificate!

WELCOME to the Rotary Club of Lima’s website. I personally invite you have a look at what Rotary has to offer you and what’s coming up this year!
WHAT’S ROTARY? Rotary is a global network of 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who come together to make positive, lasting change in communities at home and abroad.
The Rotary Club of Lima was established in 1915 and currently has 170 members, called “Rotarians.” Rotarians create a global network of community and business leaders, and technical experts who share the common mission of promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, saving mothers and children, supporting education, and growing local economies.
Every year, the Rotary International President chooses a theme to unify the 33,000 clubs that exist in over 200 countries and task us with a common purpose. The theme by the 2017-2018 Rotary International President Ian H.S. Riseley is, Rotary: Making a Difference, in which he believes protecting the environment and curbing climate change are essential to Rotary’s goal of sustainable service.
I invite you to join the Rotary Club of Lima to meet the challenge set by President Riseley to plant a tree for each of its members between the start of the Rotary year on 1 July and Earth Day on 22 April 2018.
I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as President for the 2017-2018 year in a club with such rich heritage and history of making a difference in the community. Each of our former Presidents has brought new ideas and visions to our club and my goal will be to continue that heritage.
WHAT WE DO: We have many annual events including our spring and fall blood clinic, 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.
We meet each Monday at 12PM at the Lima Veterans Civic Center in the North Hall and the fourth Tuesday of every month we have a social hour 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 contact us.
This website will assist you in finding information concerning meetings, future events and contacts. To find out more about Rotary visit the Rotary International website at www.rotary.org.
It is with great enthusiasm that I invite you to join us to “Make a Difference,” at home and abroad,
Tracie Sanchez
President, Rotary Club of Lima
The Lima Rotary Club had fun sponsoring the season's first Rally In The Square. We had a great time despite the rain!
On June 11, the Lima Rotary Club is proud to be a sponsor of the I Love Lima breakfast. We are moving our meeting that day to 8:00am instead of noon. We'll still be in the north hall of the Civic Center. Please join us, Lima's other service clubs, the YP, and everyone else who loves Lima for this fun breakfast!
The Lima Rotary Club turned out to support the kickoff of the Click It Or Ticket campaign to promote seat belt use.
The Rottery winner for May was Tim Sanford who won $152! The other half went to Crime Victims Services.
June 18th is the Law Enforcement Special Olympic Torch Run and Red Cross Blood Drive.
