Franklin's members - chosen among Franklin's community leaders - enjoy sitting down together once a week. At our meetings you can hear heartfelt laughter while we find ways to help improve our community and our world.

Worldwide, Rotarians are men and women who volunteer their efforts to improve the quality of life in their own communities and beyond their communities' borders. Clubs meet weekly and are non-political, non-religious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds. Club membership represents a cross-section of local business and professional leaders.

Rotarians initiate community projects that address many of today's most critical issues, such as violence, drug abuse, youth, AIDS, hunger, the environment, and illiteracy. Rotary clubs determine service projects based on local needs.

About 1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than 32,000 clubs in 200 countries and geographical areas. The Franklin Club, although small, is growing and for nearly 80 years has played a significant role in the community. Club members perform community service and raise funds to support scholarships, scouting, community revitalization, health and other local activities.
