The Fort Payne Rotary was chartered in 1947 with C. T. Skidmore serving as our first President. We have been serving our community for almost 75 years and the work we have done has touched the lives of a large number of people in our area. Our members come from all walks of life and combine to provide a diverse group of servant minded business leaders.
Our mantra of putting “Service Above Self” using our 4-Way Test. is easy when you do it alongside some of your best friends. With numerous service projects within our community, we can assure you that you will find a place to give back and have fun doing it.
