Local Projects
Eugene Southtowne Rotary
Eugene Southtowne Rotary in Eugene, OR has been dedicated to doing good in the world through local and international projects since our founding in 1975.
Currently, we meet at the Eugene Mission Learning Center every Thursday (excluding holiday weeks) at noon. Guests are welcome. Lunch is $15 and the meeting is one hour. We have interesting speakers on many topics. We receive updates on our ongoing projects and coordinate with each other about our many events and activities.
The Rotary motto is “Service above Self” and to honor that commitment, Southtowne Rotary has devoted countless hours and raised hundred of thousands of dollars to help create new educational opportunities for youth, distribute aid to the disabled and homeless, provide food for the underprivileged, improve outdoor and recreational living environments, and support visual and performing arts. Our service to the community takes place not only with the direct involvement by our club members but also through our monetary contributions to local scholarships and projects through our Southtowne Rotary Foundation.
Together we make a difference. Please check out the articles below and other pages on this site to learn more about us, and if you’d like to come to a meeting, let us know.
