The Rotary Club of Cashiers Valley received its charter in March 1993, and was one of the first clubs in Western North Carolina to include women as members. Like all of the clubs worldwide, we have numerous projects and initiatives to benefit our own community. Since our charter, we have raised and dispersed over $850,000 to a number of community groups that work on behalf of public health and welfare, education, and recreation.
Our universal motto is "Service Above Self", and the object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life.
Rotary International is the world's first service club organization, with more than 1.2 million members in 33,000 clubs worldwide. Rotary club members are volunteers who work locally, regionally, and internationally to combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, provide education and job training, promote peace, and eradicate polio.
Each year, Rotarians contribute on an individual basis to The Rotary Foundation. In the past year over $200 million was spent to support the goal of a polio-free world – the PolioPlus project – and other humanitarian efforts that provide clean water, medical care, literacy classes, and other essentials to people in need.
