A Little Club History:
Officially chartered on December 16, 1988, the Minneapolis Uptown Rotary Club is part of Rotary International District 5950 and is recognized as Club #26120. We have a strong commitment to community service, as demonstrated by our support of several organizations, including our 20+ year commitment to the Joyce Uptown Food Shelf and international service projects. The best part, though, is that underlying all we do is fun and fellowship!
