POSITIVE CHANGE STARTS WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU!

The Salem Rotary Club was charted in 1918 and has more than 60 members. We are part of Rotary District 7930, which has 45 clubs representing more than 1,500 members in northeastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire.
 
Our Club practices Rotary’s moto of “Service Above Self” and provides many opportunities for service and social engagement in the city of Salem and beyond. Our members complete a wide variety of service projects each year and participate in fellowship events that lead to long-lasting friendships. We strive to do as much as we can for our neighbors, and we have fun doing it! Many Salem Rotarians also use our service and social activities as a chance to engage family and friends in giving back.
