South Tyler Rotary – Tyler, Texas
South Tyler Rotary Club is an organization of business and professional people who are leaders in their respective fields in East Texas. Each member strives to adhere to the principles of the Rotary 4 Way Test and the motto of Rotary International of “Service Above Self“
Each member is required to not only hold a prominent position in their professional field, but is required to be involved in service work outside of Rotary. South Tyler Rotary Club members individually volunteer in organizations such as the Salvation Army, Meals on Wheels, the Red Cross, PATH, Boy Scouts, Junior Achievement, Camp Tyler, Royal Family Kids Camp, Make a Wish, and a variety of other service organizations.
In addition to individual member involvement, members of The South Tyler Rotary Club work collectively on charity functions such as the Annual Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser. South Tyler Rotary Club is then able to provide funding for many of the local charities we support as volunteers.
