Areas of Focus

Our Club President is supported by the Club Officers and the Club Board, comprised of members in good standing. Decisions regarding areas of focus, service projects, and finances are all made jointly by this leadership team.

Effingham Noon Club has five main areas of focus: Club Service, Youth Service, International Service, Vocational Service, and Community Service.

Club Service organizes tasks like collecting money at the door, giving the invocation, leading the opening song, greeting arriving members and the like. Club Service is also tasked with creating events to build bonds between club members and helping new members get to know others in our Rotary Club.
Youth Service recognizes the importance of empowering youth and young professionals through leadership development programs. This includes the Rotary Exchange program, acknowledgement of Scholar Athetes, and more.
International Service is for the advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service, to expand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the globe and to promote world understanding and peace. This includes our club’s support of projects in Africa, Mexico, and Central America.
As business leaders, Rotarians  share their skills and expertise through Vocational Service. Vocational Service efforts can play a vital role in improving the quality of life for those hardworking members of the community who need direction and expertise.
Community Service can be likened to “rolling up our sleeves” to serve our community. We have members involved with Meals on Wheels, the Effingham Fireworks Display for the 4th of July, Rotary Week, and Literacy Projects. We also work on other projects throughout the year and form adhoc committees as necessary to get the job done!
