Rotary International is the largest service organization in the world with over 1.2 million members in 162 countries who contribute their time and money toward the advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace. Rotarians are persons who look beyond themselves to their community, nation and the world.

The Berea Rotary Club undertakes a wide variety of projects including awarding three 4 year college scholarships annually to one student from Berea High School, Olmsted Falls High School and Polaris Vocational Career Center. Rotarians also support the Berea Flower Boxes; Church Street Ministries; Clothing Drive; Thanksgiving Meal Program; Rotaract Club; the Southwest Community Access Network and many more community projects.

Funds to help support these programs are raised through an annual Poinsettia Sale, Reverse Raffle and Silent Auction and the Lou Groza Charity Golf Outing.

Numerous opportunities are available for new members to get involved in community programs as well as those in Northeast Ohio and of a national and international nature. Membership is by invitation, and members are chosen to represent their respective business or profession providing a cross section of the Berea and Olmsted Falls Communities. Weekly meetings are held on Tuesdays at 6:30 PM at the B-W College Colony Room. Visitors are welcome.
