Club Officers

What is the State College Downtown Rotary Club? WE ARE a diverse group of community minded individuals that care about giving back, growing our networks, and performing good deeds for our community.  Some might call us “People of Action.”  We enjoy the fellowship and company of our friends during our weekly lunch meetings, but you may also find us out and about in our community doing service projects or running fundraising events to benefit other charitable organizations.

I joined the State College Downtown Rotary Club when I was 24 years old and consider it one of the best decisions I have ever made both personally and professionally.  I never thought that I would have been able to meet so many likeminded individuals and be able to create the lifelong friendships that I have thus far.  I think that it is quite fitting that the 2020-2021 theme is “Rotary Opens Opportunities” as our club has created tremendous opportunities for myself and many other members in it. We get excited for the opportunity to meet new people and be able to hear their story.  We would love for you to join us at our next upcoming meeting.  (For now, our weekly club meetings are being held remotely via Zoom. We hope to continue our in person agenda as soon as it may be possible.)

To get a feel for how involved our club is in our community, below is a list of benefactors from our 2019-2020 efforts:

Bob Perks, Centre Peace, CVIM, Habitat for Humanity, Jared Box, Mid State Literacy, State College Food Bank, State Theatre, Strawberry Fields, YMCA, Youth Service Bureau, Discovery Space, Schlow Children’s Library
