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.
