Welcome to the

MONTEAGLE-SEWANEE ROTARY CLUB

About the Monteagle-Sewanee Rotary Club

Our club was chartered on December 11, 1984 with 29 members under the sponsorship of the Winchester Rotary Club, with Joe Milner serving as our first 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 our club. Under this program, we are all one club, with one meeting each week. Most of our members are from the communities of Monteagle and Sewanee, therefore it was deemed appropriate to change our name to Monteagle-Sewanee Rotary Club. The Club currently meets on Thursday mornings at St. Mary’s Ayres Center

Annual Sleep In Heavenly Peace Event at SEWANEE

On Martin Luther King Day Jr. Day, The University of the South hosted the annual bed building event in partnership with Sleep in Heavenly Peace and the Monteagle-Sewanee Rotary Club. Sleep in Heavenly Peace is a national organization with a local chapter located in South Pittsburgh, TN. The organization ensures no kids in the area are without a bed by providing a free bed, mattress, and bedding to those in need. It was a chilly day for this bed build (around 5 degrees), but with the hard work of over 400 volunteers, 180 beds were built and will be distributed to children in the surrounding counties.
