Rotary is an organization of business and professional leaders united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. The Rotary Club of Spruce Pine was established in 1928 under the sponsorship of the Charlotte Rotary Club and has served our Mitchell County communities continuously since then. In addition to service in the local community, our club has sponsored or co-sponsored projects in Mississippi, Guatemala, The Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Costa Rica. Rotary club membership represents a cross-section of the community's business and professional men and women. The world's Rotary clubs meet weekly and are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds.
