Special event
Club Social - Rotarian Leah Flach's neighborhood Club House - Pot Luck
Tryon West Neighborhood Club House

This is a potluck social, so bring your favorite appetizer, side dish, or dessert to share. Whether it's a family recipe, a store favorite, or something you've always wanted an excuse to make, everyone is invited to contribute. The club will provide the main entrée. Spouses, significant others, and prospective members are warmly welcome. This is one of the best opportunities to get to know fellow members outside of our regular meetings, reconnect with friends, and welcome new faces in a relaxed setting. Please take a moment to RSVP so we can plan food, seating, and ensure we have enough for everyone. We hope you'll join us for an evening filled with good food, great company, and the fellowship that makes the Rotary Club of Wake Forest such a special place.

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.
