What We Are Doing
The Arc of DeKalb County Christmas Party
Fort Payne Rotary Club organizes and hosts an annual Christmas Party for The ARC of DeKalb County. We invite Santa Clause and ensure that all residents receive at least 5 presents which are selected and bought by fellow Rotarians. The residents and employees of ARC enjoys a great Christmas dinner as members of the Fort Payne Rotary and community leaders serve their tables. This was accomplished even during COVID with special protocols and was thoroughly enjoyed by both resident employees and Rotarians.
Rotary Rose

DeKalb County Entrepreneurial Center (E-Center)
The Fort Payne Rotary Club has partnered with District 6860 through DDF grant funding for the establishment of the DEKALB COUNTY ENTREPRENEURIAL CENTER (E-Center). This project has its root and creation with a vision of a better community by Fort Payne Rotary Club members. They envisioned this endeavor to make DeKalb County a better place to live for its citizens by the creation of a facility that will provide entrepreneurial resources through educating, equipping and empowering those who want to grow and succeed in business. Rotarians founded the non-profit DEKALB ENTREPRENEURIAL CENTER as a 501(c)3 nonprofit entity. The E-Center opened its doors on May 18, 2023.
