On behalf of the members of the Rotary Club of Madison, welcome to our club’s website and thank you for taking the time to visit.

Founded in 1905, Rotary International is recognized as the world’s first volunteer service organization. Today there are more than 1.2 million Rotarians in 34,000 Rotary Clubs, located in 200 countries around the world. Rotary International’s motto “Service Above Self” is the guiding principle as we focus our efforts on providing service within our communities and throughout the world.

For the past 86 years, Madison Rotarians have been actively involved in a wide variety of both community service and international humanitarian projects.  Some of these include local scholarship programs, student leadership forums, supporting Rotary’s International Polio Eradication Initiative, providing shelter, clothing and other needs to the people in Haiti and funding the drilling of fresh water wells to remote villages in Uganda..  In addition, the Madison Rotary Club has been a long time source of financial support to many local orgnaizations, including the Shoreline Soup Kitchen, Meals on Wheels, Warm the Children, Madison Cares, Neighbor-to-Neighbor and many, many others.
