Lexington Rotary Club

The Lexington Rotary Club is a service club of about 50 members, comprising a cross-section of the business and professional leaders of our community, active and retired. The Lexington Rotary Club is one of three in Rockbridge County and one of more than 33,000 in more than 200 countries of the world. The objectives of Rotary International, simply stated, are service to our community, promotion of international understanding and peace, and good fellowship among ourselves. We accomplish a number of service projects and fund-raisers every year including the Rockbridge Community Festival, Cow Plop Bingo at the Rockbridge County Fair, the Rockbridge Christmas Basket Program, sponsorship of the Interact (service) Club at Rockbridge County High School, maintenance of trash pick-up along two stretches of Route 11, and the building in 2001 of the Rotary Pavilion at the new Jordan's Point Park. We have contributed to numerous charitable endeavors including more than $48,000 to the Rockbridge Area Free Clinic. We also participate in several programs of scholarships and international exchange visits.
