Club Projects and Committees

Rotary’s motto of “Service Above Self” is evident in the many ways the Iowa City Noon Rotary is involved in international, national and local efforts to improve health and wellness, education and literacy, and the lives of others through numerous projects, many of which are in partnership with other Rotary clubs in District 6000.
Annually, our club’s committees are dedicated to:
- Providing discounted AEDs to area organizations and training individuals on how to use this life-saving equipment through the Rotary Kerber HeartSafe Community Campaign.
- Raising funds for the Ronald McDonald House through the annual Fore the Families golf tournament
- Distributing dictionaries to all 4th graders in the Iowa City Community School District
- Sending area high school students to summer leadership programs
- Planting trees in area parks
- Providing a scholarship to a nontraditional female college student
- Raise funds for the Salvation Army by ringing the bells during their kettle campaign
- Distributing literacy DVDs to area kindergarteners
- Cleaning up a local roadway
Many projects launched by Iowa City Noon Rotarians have gone on to become larger, District-wide projects that have an international impact. The Iowa MOST project provides cleft lip palate surgeries for patients in Central America while other Rotarians have been instrumental in developing a number of school and healthcare projects in Xicotepec, Mexico. In addition, our club supports RAG4ClubFoot, a Rotary Action Group (RAG) focused on expanding the nonsurgical clubfoot treatment developed by university of Iowa Dr. Ignacio Ponseti.
In addition to this good work, Rotarians are actively involved in club operations by helping greet attendees, take meeting notes, coordinate weekly guest speakers, provide music, take attendance, manage our website, and more. The club is guided by a board of directors who are dedicated to the improvement of our club and the engagement of our members.
