Nearly a hundred years of neighbors helping neighbors. This is the story of the Rotary Club of Lake Worth Beach, and the promise that has carried us through every decade: Service Above Self.
When our club was chartered in 1927, Lake Worth was a young city on the edge of a growing county. A handful of business owners and neighbors decided that the best way to build a better town was to serve it, together.
Almost a century later, that idea has not aged a day. Presidents have come and gone, projects have grown and changed, but the heartbeat is the same: show up, pitch in, and put service above self. From the parade floats of the 1970s to today's scholarships and beach cleanups, we have been part of the fabric of this community.
