Rotary is an international organization with Service above Self as its mission. We also have been told by many we are the fun club.

We are a 50+ year old club of like minded individuals with a passion for service to others in our community.

Many people think that Rotary is an organization made up by mostly men. It started that way but has grown way beyond their small beginnings. Rotary is a world wide service organization that includes women (even as the International President), and young people who we hope can see the value of Rotary in the future. Did you know that many high schools have Interact clubs that work with local clubs on service projects and leadership development?

At the college/ young adult age we have Rotaract- who are also developing their leadership and community service skills. This past week we had Adelyn Koch a pre-vet student from ISU who took an international trip this past summer to work in three different countries along side of veterinarians. And yes- she appreciates the value of Rotary and is active in a Rotaract Club.

Interested in being a part of one of the largest service organizations in the world? We meet on Fridays at 11:30 (meeting starts at noon) at Cozy Cafe. DM us if you’d like to join us!

The Rotary Club of North West Des Moines likes to be “in the know” of groups and causes we support. These photos are examples of this. We often have volunteered at St. Vincent de Paul’s but recently we had our meeting at the facility and our program was about the mission and work of the organization. The other photo is of the students we sponsored for RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) a week long camp for high schoolers to explore their potential as a leader. They came to our last meeting and shared about their experiences.
It’s good to be “in the know” and serve our community in many different ways. If you’d like to know more about Rotary and Service Above Self, DM us, we would love to have you join us! We meet most Fridays @ 11:30 (meeting starts at noon) - Cozy Cafe

So we have the reputation of being “the fun club” we laugh and joke as well as support each other and in our service to our community. At our last meeting we had a speaker that shared her personal experience with ChatGBT - wow! Much much more than term papers, grants and letters of recommendation! I immediately went home and created an itinerary based upon her suggestions . Thank you Julie Rickie for your tips and personal experience ! Did I mention we are “the fun club”? Look at these smiling, happy faces loving everything that Rotary has to offer for us as individuals, as a club, and for the community world wide. Come check us out!! Fridays @11:30 (meeting starts at noon) at Cozy Cafe in Johnston. DM me - I’d love for you to be my guest!
