About Us



CONNECT

With dynamic leaders 

Since 1914, the Rotary Club of Corpus Christi has been the place for business and community leaders to meet their peers, exchange ideas, and take action.

Joining Leaders

Rotarians build relationships that last a lifetime – and together build a stronger community for generations to come. The Rotary Club of Corpus Christi is one of the oldest clubs in Texas, and the largest club in South Texas.  Over 250 members are proud to be a part of Rotary International, a global network of over 1.2 million men and women who share a common desire to make a difference in their communities.  Rotary’s strength is in its diversity of culture, experience, and perspective.

Exchanging Ideas

The heart of the Rotary experience, in the Rotary Club of Corpus Christi, is the weekly program. Members of the Rotary Club of Corpus Christi meet every Thursday to connect and learn.  They hear from prominent local, national, and international speakers on important topics – ranging from business to the arts, politics to health, and more.  We celebrate the contributions and accomplishments of our members and those whom we serve.

Members also connect at social events and monthly service projects – many of which include the entire family. At the Rotary Club of Corpus Christi, we enjoy seeing families fellowship together and serve together.  It provides an excellent opportunity to teach our “Future Rotarians” the importance of giving back to our community.

Taking Action

Whether giving financial support and assistance, or simply giving their time, our members exemplify “Service Above Self” by dedicating resources to various programs, events, and service projects. We are “People of Action.”

 

Mission Statement
“We are business and community leaders dedicated to making a positive difference through service.”

The Four-Way Test
In 1932, Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor created The Four-Way Test. It is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. The test, which has been translated into more than 100 languages, asks the following questions and is recited at club meetings:
