Welcome to the Melissa Rotary Club

We are an active service organization whose volunteer members work under the motto SERVICE ABOVE SELF. From its beginning in 2010, the Melissa Rotary Club has had an impact through many service efforts in vital areas of our growing community.  We meet Thursdays at the Melissa ISD home office (in the Board Room in the main admin bldg, south entrance), 1904 Cooper Street, Melissa, TX 75454.  Meetings are all open to the public: 7:30 a.m. the first and third Thursdays; 12 noon the second Thursday (Community Luncheon); 7:00 p.m. the fourth Thursday evening ("Rotary at Night"); No meeting the fifth Thursday.  Come Join Us!

The Melissa Community Chili Cook-off sponsored by the Rotary Club of Melissa in February 2024 brought together volunteer chefs from the community to raise funds for the Rotary International Foundation. Tasters voted with their dollars, raising close to $500 at the weekday luncheon to improve health, provide quality education, improve the environment and alleviate poverty.  The most votes and cash prize went to Melissa ISD Transportation.
