Welcome to the website of the Rotary Club of Plainview!

 

The Plainview Club will turn 100 on May 1, 2021.  You can see We are people of action, in our community, in our Rotary district, and in the world.  Rotary International President Holger Knaack encourages Rotarians to seize the many opportunities Rotary offers to enrich their lives and the communities they serve through this year’s Presidential theme Rotary Opens Opportunities.

 

Rotary isn’t just a club for people to join, but rather “an invitation to endless opportunities” said Knaack.  He emphasizes that Rotary creates pathways for members to improve their lives and the lives of those of those they help through service projects.   “We believe that our acts of service, big and small, create opportunities for people who need our help,” Knaack said.  

 

Together, we provide personal protective equipment for healthcare workers, dictionaries to third grade students, and recognition for secondary students for perfect attendance.  We recognize students for their achievements with the student of the month program.    Rotary helps to open opportunities to the students and the community through our service projects.                            

 

If you are a person of action and believe in service above self, we want you to be our guest for lunch on Tuesdays at noon at the Plainview ISD Board Room.  Together, we can do more to open opportunities to our community in the coming year.

Become a Person of Action
There are People of Action right here in Plainview who are making our city, our region, and our world a better place.  The Rotary Club of Plainview is the only service club in Plainview that has consistently met during the COVID pandemic using Zoom technology.  Rotarians are People of Action.  We have connected with organizations around the world during the past two months and have supported COVID-related economic relief efforts in Plainview with donations of $5,000.
 
We invite you to join community leaders who seek service above self.  Together, we protect COVID medical professionals with 3D printed PPE; we cheer residents of area nursing homes with homemade Valentine's Day cards; we encourage students to active secondary school attendance through Perfect Attendance awards; and we support those whose lives have been disrupted by COVID-prevention through funding non-profit organizations.  These pictures are just a part of the life-changing work we do weekly.  You see, Rotary connects the world through service above self.  Be our guest on Zoom.  Find out how you can be a person of action in our community.
