Established in 1986, the Red Wing Rotary Club gathers each Tuesday at Noon for lunch, fellowship, and service.

Having just celebrated the 20th Anniversary of our charter, we have another exciting Rotary year in store with a number of local and international projects and events that we oversee such as the Red Wing River City Days Parade, kids fishing contests, Red Wing Band Classic, Service Above Self Awards honoring local civic employees, high school and technical college scholarships, sponsoring of incoming and outgoing exchange students, and donating to provide clean water in Haiti.
