Waseca Rotary Charter Day

About Us – Waseca Rotary Club

Founded in 1961, the Waseca Rotary Club has been a pillar of service and leadership in our community for over six decades. Our first regular meeting took place on March 7, 1961, at the Pheasant Café in Waseca, and since then, we have been committed to bringing together local leaders, professionals, and service-minded individuals to make a difference—both locally and globally.

Guided by the Four-Way Test of Rotary International, our club actively engages in a variety of projects that promote education, leadership, and community well-being. Whether supporting local youth, enhancing literacy, or participating in international humanitarian efforts, we embody the Rotary motto: “Service Above Self.”
