Welcome to the website of the Rotary Club of Plainview!
 
We are people of action, in our community, in our Rotary district, and in the world.  Together, we transform students through dictionaries distributed to third graders and awards given to secondary students who have perfect attendance.  Together, we mentor high school students through Camp RYLA and our student of the month program.  Together, we connect the world and promote peace by sending local students to live a year in another country and hosting students from Germany and India.  Rotary connects the world!
 
We are proud to be the home club of District 5730 Governor Steve Long.  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 Civic Center.  Together, we can do more to serve our community in the coming year.
