Worldwide organization of business, professional and civic leaders. We have opportunities to volunteer, working together to build goodwill and friendships.

It is a members funded club under Rotary International with the motto "Service Above Self" as we focus on service and monetary donations to our community and globally. Our Avenues of Service express our commitment to service, fellowship, diversity, integrity and leadership. Donations to our 501(c)3 nonprofit foundation are accepted. We meet in person and a virtual option is available as well. Please check our page for the most up-to-date meeting information (https://www.facebook.com/dickinsonrotary)

Our speaker this week at Rotary is Holly Dalen, Laboratory Manager for the MPC Mandan and Dickinson laboratories. She will present an overview of the history and evolution of the Dickinson Renewable Diesel Refinery, including its development, key milestones, transition to renewable fuels production, and current operational status.
The presentation will also explain the laboratory’s critical role in supporting refinery operations through quality assurance, process monitoring, analytical testing, and regulatory compliance. In addition, it will highlight how the laboratory serves as the final quality checkpoint and “gatekeeper” for product release, ensuring that all renewable diesel products meet required specifications, customer expectations, and industry standards before approval for shipment and distribution.
