Service Above Self
Service Above Self
Sioux Falls Rotary South strives to live the Rotary International motto of "service above self" as a core value for our club. As the newest club in the Sioux Falls area, we are a bit more relaxed and casual in our make-up.
Meetings are (most) Tuesdays at 5:30pm - Look's Marketplace
Please consider coming to future meeting and get to know us!
A "Short walk" to end polio now
A "Short walk" to end polio now
Had a great event...working to make a difference in our world by donating to and building awareness about the importance of ending Polio. We learned a bit about this horrible disease, walked 2 laps (!!!) around Lake Ole in Harrisburg, and then headed over to Fresh Horses Saloon (Harrisburg) for beverages and trivia. (including some Rotary and Polio trivia).
Engaging in Service
Engaging in Service
This is our core focus!
We strive to do a service event every month. Some are smaller in scope (filling bags for Journey of Hope), some are larger (serving at the Banquet), and some involve one of our favorite things -- supporting a project/event by serving their patrons a beverage of their choice at Harrisburg Days, Corks n' Kegs, and Brewhaha!
Learning about our Community
Learning about our Community
Awareness Builds Understanding
Our regular meetings will usually include a program where we learn more about what is going on in our community. We hear from area non-profits, local school districts, learn about our environment, better understand various economic directions within our communities, and more.
Fun d-Raising
Fun d-Raising
Our fundraising efforts serve a purpose: they support our service projects. These dollars allow us to do more and have a larger impact with the service focused grants that we have been given. Our fall fundraiser is the Monday Night Football books. They are $25 each and each book has a chance to win every week. Contact a Rotary South member to get one, or email us at: sfrotarysouth@gmail.com
Social Activities
Social Activities
We are a club that likes to work to make a difference AND have some fun as well. We always have a bit of a social time prior to each meeting. We also plan at least one social-only time each quarter. These include an annal "dip competition", annual holiday party, end-of-the-year club picnic, and others.

pollinator garden
pollinator garden
The idea for the pollinator garden resulted from a club program from the SDSU Extension Office during our "ag month" which highlighted the importance of pollinators in our community. This garden supports the community garden plot sponsored by and in partnership with Avera Health.
Reach literacy
Reach literacy
Several SF Rotary South members volunteered with Reach Literacy in their "BEE a Reader" program to read books via Zoom to second grade students at one of the Title 1 schools in the Sioux Falls School District. Our club provided funds for the books and other resources in support of this project.
