About Us

Welcome to the Martinsville Rotary Club!  Would you like make a lasting impact on your community and the world at large?   Would you like to have fun and meet people while you did it?  If so, consider Rotary!  We are part of an international service club that has been around since 1906, and our club has met since 1980.  Our members are business people, non-profit administrators, educators, local government employees and more.

We hold lunchtime meetings every Tuesday noon at the First Presbyterian Church’s Keller Hall, 240 East Washington Street in downtown Martinsville, Indiana.  Please join us whenever you can visit. Click here for a map.   In addition to our weekly noon meetings, we also gather periodically for informal social events like a evening at a local winery, or a Silent Disco.  If Tuesdays at noon doesn’t work for you, please contact us.  We’re in the process of starting a Companion Club that will meet in the evenings and is more informal and flexible, but still offers great fellowship and opportunities to serve.

Our club is active with a variety of service projects, and has a great impact on our local community. Our interests are both local and international, and here are just a few of the organizations and events we support:

  • Provide support to local charities – Desert Rose, Wellspring, Stability First, Barbara B Jordan YMCA, Morgan County Humane Society, Dolly Parton Imagination Library of Morgan County, A Senior Retreat, and many more
  • Volunteer at Teacher’s Warehouse and sponsor the MSD Martinsville teachers’ membership which allows them to ‘shop’ for free school supplies for their classrooms
  • Present all MSD Martinsville kindergartners with an “I Like Me” book
  • Provide scholarships to two graduating high school seniors
  • Co-sponsor the annual Mayor’s State of the City Dinner
  • Prepare a meal for First Christian Church’s weekly Community Table on a quarterly basis
  • Volunteer to ring the bell for the Salvation Army
  • Sponsor families from Wellspring at Christmastime
  • Provide funds for disaster relief at a national and international level
  • Contribute to Rotary International’s fund that is helping to eradicate polio worldwide.

The Four-Way Test of Rotary

Of the things we think, say or do:
1. Is it the Truth?
2. Is it Fair to all concerned?
3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?”
