The Eau Claire Rotary Club, an affiliate of the International Association of Rotary Clubs, held its first meeting May 6, 1925, with 15 charter members. The Association was begun to encourage friendship, fellowship and mutual assistance among its members and later community service was incorporated into the Rotary ideal. Other objectives of Rotary include the promotion of high ethical standards in business and community life, and the advancement of international understanding through a world fellowship of business and professional men. Upholding the ideals of the International Association, the Eau Claire Rotary Club has been active in community service projects and its own social events. In 1975 the 109 members of the Club celebrated its Golden Anniversary.
