Service Above Self is the mission of the Rotary Club of Marion. The club demonstrates this ethic by actively engaging members in community projects and endeavors that do good both locally and abroad. Established in 1939 club members have contributed significantly to the well being of the city and county by raising funds annually to distribute for worthy projects whose contributions to our community exceed expectations. The Rotary Club of Marion endeavors to fill gaps in funding by recognizing small projects and their impact within our community. The club is also committed to youth development and international support of water and wheel chair projects in developing countries.
2018-2019 Rotary year accomplished many signature initiatives that the club either funded or contributed to in partnership with others. The club goal includes maximizing fund raising and expending same within the Rotary Year. It is not the intent of fundraising initiatives to develop a corpus and instead to disburse within the same year. The Rotary Club of Marion has consecutively received "the Best Civic Club" rating for the multiple opportunities to distribute dollars to the community benefit. In this fundraising fund disbursement cycle the Rotary Club of Marion contributed new Automated External Defibrulator (AED) units in the public spaces of Marion and McDowell County in collaboration with the City and County Manager, and EMS assessment. A total of 8 units were placed. Our long standing scholarship program contributed to 4 graduating seniors in their first year of college or university. Wheel Chairs were distributed in Bogata and dental care to a village in Mexico. Additionally the club purchased picnic tables for a local not-for-profit; supported nutritional services of the WNC Corpening YMCA; contributed much needed dollars to the Friends of the Gateway Museum; and donated financial support to our local Freedom Life program that enables people re-entering the community following incarceration to seek skill development, education services, and job/housing advocacy.
