Who We Are
Lincoln Rotary Club 14 was the fourteenth Rotary Club established in the world. Today, Rotary International includes more than 46,000 clubs with more than 1.5 million members. The motto for Rotary is “Service Above Self” and can be quantified each year as members of the clubs volunteer more than 47 million hours serving causes in their local communities and through projects coordinated by the clubs throughout the world.
In June 2025, members of Lincoln Rotary Club 14, Lincoln's oldest and largest service club, celebrated the conclusion of their 115th year as an organization.

Welcome to the Lincoln Rotary Club 14 website. Rotary is an international service organization of 1.4 million people. We are people of action. We get our name from being the 14th club formed in the world. In our 115th year, we work within Lincoln and with our neighbors around the world to create lasting change. Our local focus this year is, “You Belong Here,” inviting fresh perspectives and making sure every member feels connected and involved. To that end, I invite you to join us at a weekly meeting on Tuesdays from 12-1 p.m. at The Lincoln Marriott Cornhusker Hotel in downtown Lincoln, Nebraska. Please come hang with us to meet some of the amazing people in our Club. Feel free to explore our website to learn more about membership, our programs and what our Club does to make Lincoln and the world a better place.
Hope to see you soon!
