Rhymes With - Rotary International

Rhymes With Decorah is back after our fun mini-series of shows from Lansing, Iowa - and what better topic to talk about than the Service of Rotary International and the Decorah Rotary Club! Join Ward Budweg, Brecka Putnam, and Benji for a conversation about Rotary and all that this incredible organization does - Service above Self!

Rotary is 1.2 million neighbors, friends, and community leaders who are creating positive, lasting change in communities around the world. Rotarians have diverse occupations, cultures, and experiences that give unique perspectives and have a shared passion for service to accomplish remarkable feats.

Through programs for emerging leaders, Rotary also helps young people get the skills and experience they need to make a real difference in the lives of others. Rotary offers both service clubs and programs to help students and young professionals strengthen their leadership skills, expand their world understanding, and make new friends. 

With clubs in nearly every country, Rotary’s positive impact on communities around the world has never been greater. If you share a passion for creating lasting change, contact the Decorah Rotary to become a member and get involved.
