Rotary Club of Broward

About Rotary Club of Broward

A Rotary club built around how Broward works

Early meetings that end before work, hands-on projects and socials in the places you already go. Chartered in Fort Lauderdale, Rotary District 6990.

The story

Why Broward needed one more Rotary club

Same Rotary, same Four-⁠Way Test, run on the schedule of people who still have a day to get to.

What we did this year

Rotary has been in Broward County for about a century and the clubs that built it are still here doing good work. What the county didn't have was a club that fit the way most working people live: early meetings that end before the workday, projects you can finish before lunch, and a social calendar that looks like a night out with friends.

So a group of Broward professionals started one. Rotary District 6990 chartered the Rotary Club of Broward on March 17, 2026, with Assistant Governor Chris Evert presiding at the ceremonial charter. Drew Monaghan became charter president. The IRS recognized the club as a 501(c)(3) public charity that September, which means dues and donations may be tax deductible. Not every Rotary club can say that.

In its first year the club built care kits for local homeless citizens, swept Fort Lauderdale Beach with corporate partner BLU Longevity, toured the Harvest Drive operation, hosted a county property appraiser and an oncologist on Tuesday mornings and marked World Polio Day. Members drive in from Coral Springs, Plantation, Hollywood and everywhere between.

Members decide the projects, the partners and the speakers. Come to a meeting and you will see how.

Our club focus

Health. Hunger. Wellness.

01

Health

Care kits for local homeless citizens, PolioPlus every October, and the partners who treat people the county forgot.

Hunger

Harvest Drive, a mobile school pantry and $20,000 to Broward Partnership for the Homeless this year.

03

Wellness

A meeting that ends before work, one social a month, and people who notice when you don't show up.

Since 1932

The Four-⁠Way Test

Four questions Rotarians apply to the things they think, say and do. A Chicago businessman wrote them in 1932 to save a company that was nearly broke, and it worked.

The full story
  1. 1Is it the truth?
  2. 2Is it fair to all concerned?
  3. 3Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
  4. 4Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
