2011-2012 Morris Rotary Officers
Greetings from the officers and members of the Rotary Club of Morris known as the "World’s First Small Town Rotary Club". Chartered on July 1, 1915, we have been working with youth, helping our community for many years. I invite you to take some time to visit our web site and learn more about us. If you are excited about giving back to your community and live or work in the Morris area please contact us to learn more about Rotary. Morris Rotary is bound by the words Fellowship, United in Service and Networking. Once again, welcome and let’s work together to ..."To serve and benefit the community for which we are a part".
Matt Dennison, President

Service Projects
Morris Rotary Club has been a leader in contributing financially, and volunteering man-hours, to a variety of local charitable organizations. Support has been given to the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Illinois Valley Industries, M.A.L.S., Eye-Care, Operation St. Nick and No Tolerance Task Force. Members have planted trees in Chapin Park, painted and landscaped Narvick House, and assisted We-Care at food distribution centers. Many Morris Rotarians have been host families for Foreign Exchange Students and have planned and hosted visits for Adult Cultural Education Groups.
Recognition of Youth and Education
A Scholarship Fund, established in 1990, provides financial assistance to local high school graduating seniors in their pursuit of higher education. Morris Rotary has given away $200,000 dollars in scholarship to local students based on need, grades, community involvement and overall quality as an individual. An Interact Club has been started in the Morris High School fostering community service and leadership in our young adults. Also annually, the club hosts the members of Morris High School’s National Honor Society at a dinner and presents their membership pins.
Our Elementary school projects include a Dictionary Project for every third grader, Four - Way test essay contest and BackPack Project providing food for kids on the weekend.
