Rockport Rotary Club
The Rockport Rotary Club is an active group of men and women who meet at 12 noon every Thursday year round at the Rockport Country Club, Rockport, Texas.
We look forward each week to invited speakers who share information about Rotary and many local, state, national and international topics. We encourage members to take active roles in club leadership and in service projects that benefit our community and the world.We are committed to Rotary’s 4-Way Test and the Object of Rotary.
