Rotary Club of Oregon, Wisconsin
Rotary Club of Oregon, Wisconsin
The Rotary Club of Oregon, WI was formed in 1944 and strives to provide service internationally and to the Oregon community through projects, student scholarships, and financial sponsorships. Our club meets weekly at 6:45 in the morning in the community room of the Bank of Cross Plains, 744 N. Main St in Oregon. A guest speaker provides interesting information on an array of subjects from climate change to alpacas. The size of the club, about 35 members, promotes less formality and good camaraderie. We support a high school senior each month and an inbound exchange student as well as outbound student from Oregon High.
