A Message from the Club President

Welcome

Welcome to the online home of Cedar Rapids West Rotary!  We invite you to join us at our meetings, Wednesday noon at the Scottish Rite Temple.  Cedar Rapids West Rotary is known for its fellowship, fun and service.  Click here to review our 2009-2010 Rotary plans (PDF).

Rotary West serves locally and internationally.  Local service includes 2008 Flood Recovery, scholarships to Kirkwood Community College, and support to non-profit organizations to name a few.  Internationally, we are bringing clean water to a village in Ghana along with support to eliminate Polio.

When the 2008 floods hit our community, Cedar Rapids West Rotarians took action.  Our members immediately helped to arrange needed supplies, muck out homes, bring in needed food and organize a project to raise money to replace needed appliances for those who can't afford them. That typifies Cedar Rapids Rotary West's service, hands-on, immediate and meaningful. 

If you're looking for a group of people dedicated to the kind of public service Rotary has come to stand for, and would also like to have some fun in the process, join us at one of our weekly meetings.
