The Greenville Rotary club first met in 1927.  It was chartered with 27 members.  Women were first admitted as members in March of 1991.  President Steve Eipper says that membership hovers around 20-25.  The club has a "Friend of Rotary" membership to help people get started by coming to meetings and helping with fundraisers.  These are not formal Rotarians, but it gets people in the door which helps build the Club Family. 

 

The club is very proud of their summer Rhythm on the River Concert Series. It is a 100% Rotary Event with 300-500 people attending per concert.

 

They are also proud of the Interact Clubs they sponsor. The high school Interact club has 70 members. They also sponsor clubs in the middle School, and 2 elementary schools. 

 

The club has been sending students to the Life Leadership Conference for 49 consecutive years. They try to send at least 3 people each year.
