Presidents Message

Welcome to Longwood Rotary!  If you are looking for a way to more fully engage with community leaders and focus your time and talents on meaningfully impacting the lives of our neighbors in Southern Chester County, you’ve found us!

For nearly 30 years, the Longwood Rotary Club has been serving our community through a commitment to “Service Above Self”.  We are a diverse club – over 100 strong – comprising small and large business owners, professionals from various trades, finance, and healthcare industries, as well as leaders of non-profit organizations.  Everyone is welcome.  

If you feel called to community service, please reach out or come visit us to learn more.  We meet every Thursday morning from 7-8 AM at Longwood Gardens for breakfast and our incredible speaker program.  Please arrive from 6:30-6:45 AM through the main Visitor Center entrance, and our greeter will show you the way to our meeting.

I also invite you to join us in the Longwood Gardens Conservatory on March 14, 2026, for our annual fundraising gala.  This is an opportunity to give financially to our efforts and have fun while doing so.  For more information, click here.  Ticket sales begin late 2025.  

We have bold plans for the 2025-2026 Rotary year with targeted initiatives to increase our impact, extend our reach in the community, and further our engagement, all while adapting to the changing needs of our club and the community.  

At Rotary, we are “People of Action,” part of a network of over 1.2 million neighbors, friends, and leaders who volunteer our time and resources to solve issues and address community needs.  Come join us!
