Welcome to our website!  I am excited to be leading Metro Rotary, and I look forward to a successful and rewarding year for us all. 

Fellow members, I hope you are prepared for a year of fun and fellowship!  We will continue our charitable support (both local and international), our volunteerism efforts and our social gatherings.

If you are not a member of our club, I invite you to attend as often as your schedule allows.  I am confident you will find our members engaging, the networking rewarding and the programs informative.
