Who We Are
A Club Who Supports Bisbee
We are a group of individuals with a common trait. We truly value “Service Above Self”. Our members range in age from 40 to 80 something, which helps identify needs in the community across a broader spectrum.
We are always open to meeting like-minded people who like to get stuff done. Age is not a factor, willingness to make a difference is.
“The Bisbee Rotary Club has been organizing the July 4th parade as long as I have been alive! It was a great honor to serve as a judge for this grand tradition”
