Circleville Noon Rotary Club

During the years of 1921-22 a small group of Circleville business and professional men believed the city needed a service club. A delegation from the Chillicothe Rotary Club convinced these men that Rotary was the best organization to meet their needs.

On February 22, 1922, charter number 1807 was presented to the Circleville Rotary Club. This charter meeting had over 200 Rotarians in attendance from Circleville and a number of surrounding cities. Twenty-three of these comprised the new Circleville club. Today there are over 130 members.

The Circleville Noon Rotary has generated four district governors.

One of the club's first projects was in connection with the Ohio Society for Crippled Children and involved a local clinic. Other major projects over the years included Red Cross blood donor recruitment, institution of a Lifeline program, a safeguard for senior citizens, participation in District's 669's, Honduras Water Well Project In the 1980's, financial support for education, contributions to the Rotary International Polio Plus campaign, and sponsorship of second Rotary club, the Circleville Sunrise Rotary club.
