On February 1, 2021, Wenatchee Rotary will complete our first 100 years of service to the Wenatchee Valley and the world. A CELEBRATION GALA is planned for January 16, 2021. More later.
Wenatchee Rotary Club was chartered on February 1, 1921, the 815th club formed. We are now known as club #227. Below is a copy of the original charter document.
There are several excellent Rotary clubs in the Wenatchee Valley. Some were sponsored by our club and some have web sites. All of them would welcome any Rotarian seeking to visit or to establish a makeup meeting, and would welcome a potential new member. All Rotary clubs meet weekly. For a list of area clubs and makeup opportunities, CLICK HERE.
