MONTEAGLE-SEWANEE ROTARY CLUB

About the Monteagle-Sewanee Rotary Club

The Monteagle-Sewanee Rotary Club was chartered on December 11, 1984 with 29 members under the sponsorship of the Winchester Rotary Club. Joe Milner served as the first club president. In November, 2011, District Governor Frank Rothermel inducted ten new members to form the Satellite Club as part of the Rotary International Satellite Club Pilot Program. The formation of the Sewanee Satellite Group in 2011, under Rotary International's pilot program, brought new members to the club. Most of the members are from the communities of Monteagle and Sewanee, therefore it was deemed appropriate to change the name to Monteagle-Sewanee Rotary Club. The Club currently meets on Thursday mornings at St. Mary’s Ayres Center in Sewanee, Tennessee.
