Service above self,
right here in Wake Forest
Neighbors who meet every week and turn that hour into festivals, scholarships, small-business programs, and millions in relieved medical debt.

Upcoming meetings & events
Quarterly WF Rotary Club Board Meeting will be held at 5:00PM before a regular meeting.
Join us for a fun and meaningful evening as we bring together Rotary members and Interact students to kick off the new year of service. This social is a chance for Rotarians to get to know our students, help them feel welcomed and supported, and build connections before we begin our service projects for the year. We’ll provide hamburgers and hot dogs and pulled pork, and we invite attendees to bring a side dish, appetizer, or snack to share. The evening will include food, conversation, and light ice breakers designed to help students and Rotarians connect in a relaxed and welcoming setting. This is a great opportunity to encourage our Interact students, share what Rotary is all about, and start the year off with energy, connection, and a shared commitment to service.
RSVP →The event organizers are seeking 10 Rotary volunteers to assist with parking, registration, and car judging on Saturday, September 19. If our club provides at least 10 volunteers, they will donate $500 to support our club. Volunteers will receive an event t-shirt. Please consider donating a few hours to help make this community event a success while furthering Rotary’s mission of service above self. VOLUNTEER RESPONSIBILITIES Parking | Shift: 7:00 am to 11:00 am | Hold/attend briefing meeting at 7:15 am to be ready for the gates to open at 7:30 am. Direct-entry cars were to park and be guided into their spots. We prefer each car to have its own parking space, and larger cars may need more space. Use a pool noodle to mark spacing when outside a parking space. Cars are “backed in” to each space, with the front of the car facing the aisle. Registrants are not permitted to choose their own parking space. Make sure to have volunteers at the entry and interspersed throughout the parking area, including the early leavers area, near the entry, and the back row of the lot near the ATM (all entries come through the main registration point, even volunteers). Supplies needed: pool noodles, safety vests. Volunteers needed: 10+ (Leads: Brad Scott) Judging | Shift: 8:30 am to 2:00 pm | Hold/attend briefing meeting at 8:30 am. Judging begins at approximately 9:00 a.m., and each team will be assigned two volunteers. If you have a car in the show, you cannot judge your own car. Cars will be judged on a 100-point scale. Volunteers will be provided with a clipboard, pens, judging forms, and judging dots. Forms are to be completed legibly and signed/initialed if the Judging Chair has questions. Judging forms will be picked up by “Runners” and delivered to the Tabulators inside Hartura. Prior experience is preferred. Supplies needed: clipboards (with classes on the backside), judging forms, pens, highlighters, judging dots, safety vests. Volunteers needed: 20 (Chair: Ken Nagy) All volunteers in the show area must wear a safety vest! Rotarians can wear their safety vests.
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.”
