The club is one of over 32,000 Rotary clubs in over 200 countries and geographical areas with about 1.2 million members worldwide. Our club is the second largest in Rotary District 6820, which encompasses 43 clubs in central Mississippi.

Our diverse membership offers leadership and resources for the enhancement of the greater Starkville area and for the promotion of goodwill and peace in the world by providing humanitarian service, encouraging high ethical standards in all vocations, and working toward international understanding. Through a multitude of service activities, we seek to actualize the Rotary motto: "Service above self: he profits most who serves best."
