Ever wonder how to get to know other people at Stennis? The Rotary Club of Stennis Space Center is an excellent way to meet people from all over the site who come together to use their diverse skills to improve the quality of life in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world.
Stennis Rotarians are a part of a world-wide effort to work locally, regionally, and internationally to provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. Clubs are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds. Rotarians are welcome at over 34,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas. Talk about networking opportunities!
The Stennis Rotary Club was admitted to Rotary International on June 22, 2000. The Club meets at every at Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. in Building 1103 in the Herman Glazier Conference Room, and visitors are welcome! The Club is unique because no one lives at Stennis; members come from the surrounding area in both Louisiana and Mississippi. Some members work onsite and others come in especially for meetings.
Members of the Stennis Rotary Club are committed to the Rotary ideal of Service Above Self. The Club is involved in a broad array of projects. After Hurricane Katrina, it adopted the town of Pearlington, MS and has helped with many projects there including providing holiday dinners and sponsoring health fairs. Most recently, the Club teamed with other Rotary Clubs to purchase and equip a mobile medical unit that can be brought in after an emergency.
With its annual golf tournament, Stennis Rotary Club supports the Boys and Girls Club of the Gulf Coast Hancock Unit and the Mount Olive Food Bank in Slidell. The Club sponsors the Interact Club at Northshore High School and has provided playground equipment for South Hancock Elementary School. Members participate in the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. In 2010, the Club held the first annual Run for Water at Stennis which raised money for an international clean water project. These are just a few examples of the types of projects and activities Stennis Rotary Club engages in and supports.
