About Us:

The Rotary Club of Hammond was established in 1920 on the basis of a shared commitment to the founding principles of Rotary International: "World Peace Through Understanding" and "Service Above Self. "These principles are demonstrated by the personal and professional lives of our members, who today honor that original commitment as vigorously as have our predecessors. We welcome to our club all people who bring their enthusiasm and abilities to the four Rotary Avenues of Service, which are Club Service, Community Service, Vocational Service, and International Service.

Club Service

The first Avenue of Service of Rotary is the most important as it provides the Club with involved, community-minded and caring members who accomplish the goals of the other three areas of Rotary service. This area of service includes the recruitment, involvement and retention of dedicated Rotarians. Club Service is directed toward the internal functioning of the club and includes attendance at Club meetings, social gatherings of our Rotary friends, participation in the management of the Club, and involvement in community service projects. This area of service ensures that the Rotary Club of Hammond remains a vital and contributing club in the area.
