About Us

Like most Rotarians worldwide, members of the Rockport Rotary probably joined to help improve the quality of life in our community and make a difference in the world. Rockport Rotary Club was established in 1948 by a group of notable Rockport-Fulton citizens. Over the years we have had a variety of service projects both local and international. Our current service projects are focused on our community and support to national and international areas of need.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.
