Our 1.2 million-member organization started with the vision of one man—Paul P. Harris. The Chicago attorney formed one of the world’s first service organizations, the Rotary Club of Chicago, on 23 February 1905 as a place where professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas and form meaningful, lifelong friendships. Rotary’s name came from the group’s early practice of rotating meetings among the offices of each member.
You are invited to visit us at an upcoming meeting.

Rockport Rotary Club lost a member last week with the death of Glenn Gomez. Glenn hasn't been a member long, but he fit right into the club and was becoming a valuable member. The photo to the right shows him as a guest speaker at our meeting on September 3rd about the 2019 Hummerbird Festival which he chaired. The second photo Glenn being inducted as member of our club with his sponsor Angela Attal. Glenn will be missed.
Tuesday, October 8 is a special day for Rockport Rotary, and you have 4, that’s four, activities to choose from. My hope is that everyone can attend at least one and most of attend the last two of the day.
On October 31-November 2, 2019, The Rotary Club of Rockport Texas and Rockport Center for the Arts will host the 13th Annual Rockport Film Festival. The mission of the Rockport Film Festival (RFF) is to bring the best of independent cinema to the Texas Coast while also strengthening the local economy through cultural tourism. We need strong advocates, like you, to support the arts and independent film in Rockport.
