The Rotary Club of Reno

The Rotary Club of Reno was the first Rotary Club established in Nevada. We were chartered on August 1, 1916, and our first official meeting of the club occurred on August 9, 1916, in the Riverside Hotel.


With approximately 120 members, the Rotary Club of Reno is the largest group in Northern Nevada. 


Members of the club enjoy participating in various community events and international projects, as well as the opportunity to network on a weekly basis. You are always welcome to attend one of our lunch meetings! We meet at The Atlantis Casino Resort Spa Reno on Mondays at noon. The address is: 3800 S. Virginia Street, Reno, NV 89502.

Philosophy

The Rotary Club of Reno embraces the Four-Way Test as Rotary’s philosophical cornerstone within five Avenues of Service, designated Areas of Focus and the foundation upon which club activity is based.

Four-Way Test

The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians occasionally recite it at club meetings:
 
Of the things we think, say or do:
  1. Is it the TRUTH?
  2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
  3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
  4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
