Upcoming meetings & events
The Rotary Club of Wake Forest is excited to welcome Taylor Duncan, Founder and CEO of Alternative Baseball Organization, a nonprofit dedicated to providing authentic baseball experiences for teens and adults ages 15 and older with autism and other special needs. As a young man on the autism spectrum, Taylor experienced firsthand the challenges of finding opportunities to participate in traditional sports. Determined to break down those barriers, he founded Alternative Baseball in 2016, creating an inclusive environment where players can develop skills, build confidence, form friendships, and experience the excitement of competitive baseball. Today, his organization is expanding into communities across the United States, demonstrating how sports can transform lives. Join us as Taylor shares his inspiring journey and how Alternative Baseball is creating opportunities, challenging perceptions, and making a lasting impact both on and off the field.

The Rotary Club of Wake Forest is excited to welcome our visiting delegation from the Republic of Moldova, and we're kicking off their visit with an evening of food, fellowship, and international friendship! We're inviting all Wake Forest Rotarians to bring their favorite cultural dish, appetizer, or dessert to share with our Moldovan guests. Whether it's a treasured family recipe, a dish representing your heritage, or simply something you love to make, this is your opportunity to share a little of your own culture through food. Our seven visiting guests are participating in the Open World program, focused on Agritourism and Innovation Ecosystems. During their week in North Carolina, they'll explore agriculture, entrepreneurship, economic development, and community leadership. This special evening will be their first opportunity to get to know our Rotary family, experience our community's hospitality, and begin building friendships that reach across the Atlantic. Bring a dish, bring your Rotary spirit, and help us give our Moldovan friends a warm Wake Forest welcome! This event is for Rotary Club of Wake Forest members and the visiting Moldova delegation.
Cars & Carnivores turns five
Our signature street festival is back: 100+ show cars, an SCA-sanctioned steak cook-off, and a cornhole tournament, all for a good cause.
Remembering Bob McCamy
Bob joined this club on February 1, 1966 and gave it 60 years: twice its president, its treasurer for a decade, and a mentor to generations of Rotarians who learned Service Above Self by watching him do it quietly.
In 2026 a unanimous selection committee awarded him the Vivian A. Jones Peace Prize, one of Wake Forest's highest civic honors. He passed away on July 31, 2026.
What people say about this club
“Joining the Wake Forest Rotary Club was one of the most formative decisions of my adulthood! I joined when I was 24, having moved to a new town and looking for a community. The people I met have become family.”
“The club’s community service work is exceptional. Members are constantly involved in hands-on projects that directly support families, seniors, youth, and local nonprofits.”
“I volunteered to help with the annual Cars and Carnivores charity event that raises money to pay off local residents cancer treatment debt. It was so much fun and the people were so friendly and welcoming, that I decided to join the club.”
