Welcome to the Rotary Club of Norfolk – a vibrant group of community leaders who enjoy being part of southeastern Virginia’s oldest and largest service club.
Our nearly 100 members come from throughout Hampton Roads and share a passion for community service and fellowship. We value always learning something new, having fun, and working together to make our community and world better. If I can help connect you to Rotary International and our club please contact our membership chair, Kay Stine.
Rotarians are focused on Service Above Self, but they also enjoy a party and the opportunity to know each other better. A recent after-work gathering at the riverfront home of Rotarian Ed Kellam and his wife, Connie, came with live music by Rotarian Bob Heely channeling his inner Jimmy Buffett. Hawaiian shirts were in full display at this casual party. 
Past Rotary Club of Norfolk President Mark Shaw celebrates the successful labeling of 15,400 books destined for all Norfolk Public School elementary students as part of the All-district Reads Program. Many Rotarians, family members and friends worked together over two evenings at Smartmouth Brewery to put Rotary book plates in the books. Now teams of Rotarians are delivering the books to the city's 34 public elementary schools. 
Although President Jeff Wells has a few more weeks as the leader of the Rotary Club of Norfolk, he chose to go ahead and honor nine Rotarians with Service Above Self Awards for their extraordinary service to the club during the 2023-24 year. These club members jumped in where needed and lined up community service projects and volunteered for them, led fundraising events, reinvigorated our Rotaract Chapter, spearheaded Career Visitation and much more. Tom Koller not only won the Service Above Self Award but was the first recipient of the President's Award. At the same meeting, Sigur Whitaker, foundation chair, honored five Rotarians as Paul Harris Fellows for their generous contributions to the Rotary Foundation. They include a new Paul Harris Fellow as well as members ranking as high as Paul Harris Fellow +8.
