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, invites Santa Clause and ensured over 75 employees receive at least 5 presents, selected and bought by our members. This was accomplished even during COVID with special protocols, and was thoroughly enjoyed by both resident employees and Rotarians.

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. These Rotarians founded the non-profit DEKALB ENTREPRENEURIAL CENTER as a 501(c) non-profit entity.
