Fast Facts about Greenville Rotary
The Rotary Club of Greenville is the original and largest Rotary Club in South Carolina. Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Atlanta, it was organized January 7, 1916 as Rotary Club # 205. Greenville leads District 7750 in fundraising, both locally through its Roper Mountain Holiday Lights project, and internationally through contributions to The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International. It is one of the 50 largest Rotary clubs in the world.
The club has sponsored many landmark projects in the Greenville community, including the orignal Textile Hall, Furman's original gymnasium and Manly Field, Rotary Lake at Camp Greenville, a YMCA Health Center, and the Rotary Family Literacy Center at the YWCA.
