About Us

Who We Are

Founded in 1924, the Rotary Club of Plymouth is the oldest and largest service organization in Plymouth, Michigan. Our members continue a long legacy of service within our community, as well as nationally and internationally. Our members are business and community leaders of today — and tomorrow. As People of Action we raise over $100,000 each year to support community programs like scholarships; park beautification and bulb planting; food bank fulfillment and delivery; and COVID vaccination check-ins. Nationally, we support clean drinking water programs. We also assemble kits and provide financial support for Days for Girls (providing feminine hygiene materials for girls in Africa). And we continue Rotary’s global mission to eradicate polio.

Locally, our annual events like the Rotary Chicken BBQ, golf outing, car parking during Art Fair, and more bring members, neighbors, and friends together to raise needed funds to positively impact our community.

We are part of Rotary International, an organization that unites—through Service Above Self—more than 1.2 million members worldwide.

Our Governing Principles

The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to apply in their personal and professional relationships. The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians recite it at club meetings:

Of the things we think, say, or do

  • Is it the TRUTH?
  • Is it FAIR to all concerned?
  • Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
  • Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

The Plymouth Rotary Club has been active for over 90 years.
