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
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.
RSVP →Burger will share some of the initiatives being undertaken by one of Wake Forest's leading social services organizations and discuss the challenges his organization faces as it attempts to meet the needs of its clients.
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 →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.”
