Interested in Joining Rotary??
The Jefferson Rotary Club now has two meeting times! For those whose schedule permits, our noon club meets every Monday at 12:00pm in the Rotary Room at the Jefferson Public Golf Course. A hot meal is served and a speaker presents on a topic of interest for the community.
 
This past summer, the Jefferson Rotary Club expanded its scope by launching an evening "satellite" club. The club meets the second and fourth Wednesday of each month at 6pm. Children are welcome to attend with their parent(s)!  The satellite club has money set aside for community projects and benefits from our annual charity auction, just as our noon club does.
 
If you have a community need in mind, are service oriented, and are looking for group camaraderie, consider membership in one of our club groups! Ask any Rotarian for more information about membership.
