Welcome to the Rotary Club of Bend's Website!

The Rotary Club of Bend is the original Rotary Club in Central Oregon.  It was chartered in 1947 and currently has 105 members who are "Making Dreams Real" with their extraordinary commitment to our local community as well as to Rotary's World Community Service.

Our projects in recent years have spanned the globe.  After sending 120 wheelchairs to Lithuania in 2003 we, along with the three other Rotary Clubs in Bend, built Rotary Centennial Park in Bend in 2004.  We are now in the second phase of a 2-year project providing fresh drinking water to 25 elementary schools in Sri Lanka that were devastated by the Tsunami.

We participate in the program to provide all third graders in our district with dictionaries, offer 4 music and academic scholarships each year, and support many Family and Children's agencies in our area with our "Make Dreams Real" projects and with financial aid.  We offer free "shots for tots", and bring holiday gifts to many needy area kids with our "Tree of Joy" project.

The Rotary Club of Bend is truly made up of exceptional people who are trying to add a little more to the community woodpile than they take out.  Along with the other 33,000 Rotary Clubs in 160 countries,  we are changing the world with our work at home and around the globe, one act at a time.  

To learn more about our activities and the Rotary Club of Bend, please contact us via this website or visit us on Wednesdays at Noon at the Bend Golf and Country Club.
