Minden Rotary from June 1947 - Present

What would Minden be like if there wasn't a Rotary Club?
Minden Rotary would like to think that they have served the community well, adhering to our motto "Service Above Self". Our list of accomplishments is a long one and Minden Rotary has always been there with a helping hand, not asking for anything in return.
Our Charter members and beyond were dedicated - always keeping in mind that our aim was to help the community to the best of our ability.
Our problem has always been that we neglect to "Toot our own horn" as it were. This might be so but our satisfaction is being able to help others. It is estimated that we have been able to help the community with over 3 million dollars in support.
