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:

Our Thursday meeting offered an inspiring look into the incredible contributions of women in the Navy. We were thrilled to have Steve Banta, Executive Director of the USS Lexington Museum on the Bay, share this remarkable history with us. Did you know the Naval Act of 1916 allowed 11,274 women to enlist in the Navy? It granted them equal rank and pay, opening doors to roles beyond nursing, including clerical work, driving, telephone operations, and translation. These trailblazing women broke barriers! This is just a glimpse into the profound impact women have had in our military. Don't miss the Women of the Navy exhibit at the USS Lexington! We also welcomed an inspiring group of students who shared their high school journeys and ambitious goals. We're confident they'll achieve great things! ... See MoreSee Less
