ROTARY CLUB OF PRINCETON WELCOMES YOU!
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Rotary Club of Princeton where you will find a community of friends and fellow advocates who care about making a difference for a better future. It is my honor to serve as this year’s club president and represent more than 65 members.
The Rotary Club of Princeton began on April 30, 1920, and has been a pillar of our community. Through countless service projects, we have provided an avenue for members to give back to the community. Our founding members focused on service above self, uniting business professionals and community leaders, and promoting goodwill and integrity. We developed an understanding of local needs and challenges as well as international needs and problems.
As of 2026, Princeton Rotary is one of 45,000 clubs across the world. Rotary has used its members’ strengths to build infrastructure for struggling nations and to help eradicate polio simply by working together. In fact, this year’s Rotary International President, Olayinka "Yinka" Hakeem Babalola of Nigeria, stresses that our efforts and work need to Create Lasting Impact. As Rotarians, we strive to make a difference and create an impact that endures over time.
Princeton Rotary provides weekly educational meetings, fellowship time, events, and service projects to help others and build lasting friendships.
Being a member of the Rotary Club of Princeton is a special opportunity to grow personally, learn about others, and connect locally, making a lasting impact and difference within our community.
Pat Schou, President
