Members of the Rotary Club of Houston Skyline, Texas, USA, and other clubs in the area clean up litter at the Third Ward Chess Park in Houston. The clubs and their community partners turned a vacant lot into a park with picnic and chess tables, garden beds, and public art. 14 November 2021.

An effort to reinstate a Campbell County chapter of the Rotary Club is underway, with an informational meeting taking place next month.

The Rotary Club is the world’s oldest service club, founded in 1905 in Chicago by Paul Harris. Today, the Rotary Club has grown to over 1.4 million members in more than 35,000 clubs worldwide. According to the Rotary Club website, Rotary is dedicated to causes that “build international relationships, improve lives, and create a better world to support our peace efforts and end polio forever.”

An informational meeting will be held on Sept. 11, at the Dayton Community and Meeting Center, 625 2nd Ave., from 6 to 7 p.m.
