"SERVING OUR COMMUNITY SINCE 1947"

Welcome to the Lawrenceburg Rotary Club Website.

We are located at the"Crossroads of Dixie" in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee which is 75 miles south of Nashville. Weekly meetings are held each Friday at 12:00 Noon in Lawrenceburg Rotary Park's Beasley Hall.

Our club was chartered in 1947 and has been active in Rotary's Five Avenues of Service since its inception. We have approximately 100 members who represent a cross section of our county's business, professional, and public service community. Local Rotarians are encouraged to practice the Rotary motto of "Service Above Self" under the guidance of the 4-Way Test.

Lawrenceburg Rotary's major projects are production of the Middle Tennessee District Fair and partnership with the City of Lawrenceburg for maintenance and development of Lawrenceburg Rotary Park.

The park is a multi-use facility consisting of a public swimming pool, three gymnasiums, a covered pavilion, lighted show ring with grandstand seating for up to 4,000 people; plus playground, picnic shelters, and other facilities.

Lawrenceburg Rotary Park is home to club sponsored events including the Middle Tennessee District Fair and The Rumble at the Crossroads Truck and Tractor Pull. Other community organizations hold events at Lawrenceburg Rotary Park including the Crossroads of Dixie Antique Tractor and Engine Show,and the Chamber of Commerce sponsored Christmas in the Country.

The Middle Tennessee District Fair is our signature event. Lawrenceburg Rotary assumed management of the fair in 1950 and has built it into one of best in Tennessee. The fair runs every year beginning on the fourth Monday in September and its revenues make possible our support of Lawrenceburg Rotary Park and other projects.

Lawrenceburg is active in Rotary District 6760. Four local Rotarians have served as District Governor, and numerous others have been recognized for service at the district level. Two have received the highest individual honor bestowed by Rotary International, the RI Service Above Self Award. For a complete listing, click here to view our Club History.

We support The Rotary Foundation and have been recognized as a 100% Paul Harris Fellow Club. In addition, Lawrenceburg Rotarians are actively involved in Group Study Exchange and World Community Service projects.
