Proud member of District 6510 of Rotary International -

The Rotary Club of O'Fallon meets at Noon every Monday at the Katy Cavins Community Center

The O'Fallon Rotary Club was chartered on 19 May 1925 with 15 members.  Today, the O'Fallon Rotary Club has about 80 members and has sponsored the formation of Rotary Clubs in Lebanon, Waterloo, Columbia, Fairview Heights, and a second club in O'Fallon -- the Sunrise Club.

The Club participates in a variety of beneficial community civic projects and international service projects each year.  We are able to do this through the generosity of Rotarian and community members.  One of our biggest fund-raisers is our ANNUAL AUCTION.

OUR ACTIVITIES BENEFIT PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD AND INCLUDE:
