Kelly Neville

Welcome to the Rotary Club of Laramie - our community's oldest and largest service club! We are a group of over 80 professionals and service-minded individuals working to better our community and our world for over 100 years. And we have a lot of fun along the way!

Our club sponsors many youth focused programs and scholarships. We actively serve Laramie and Albany County through a variety of hands-on projects. We contribute to many local, national and international nonprofits and service efforts. We raise funds through a variety of community enhancing fundraising including the annual Taste of Laradise.

Prospective members are always welcome to join us at one of our weekly meetings. We meet Thursdays at noon in the basement of O'Dwyer's Restaurant on Grand Avenue for lunch, education, dynamic programming and camaraderie. If you are interested in learning more about Rotary, curious about membership, or wondering how you can make a positive and lasting impact on your community, please contact us at laramierotary@gmail.com.
