About Us:

In 1983, 77 years after the founding of the first Rotary Club in Chicago, Illinois by Paul Harris, a number of prominent Round Rock citizens, including current members Carlton Hornbeck, Jon Sloan, Sidney Gervais, Guy Olsen, and Scott Evans, met and agreed to organize themselves into the first Rotary Club in the history of Round Rock, Texas, with Carlton taking on the duties of the Club's first President. In recognition of the coming growth in population and industry in the Round Rock area, they decided that a community service club of business and professional leaders in their respective fields would facilitate the community in enhancing these growth opportunities and addressing the concomitant responsibilities associated with rapid growth.

Designated as Club Number 1958 by Rotary International and District 5870, these founders and the members who have elected to follow their leadership and commitment to Service Above Self, have met weekly to discuss their collective interests and observations on Round Rock and the state of the world. Throughout its history, the Club has marched at the forefront, as the community of Round Rock has progressed from a rural farming community of 13,186 in 1983 to one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the United States with an estimated and growing population of over 75,000.
