Our History
The Rotary Club of Waupaca was founded on January, 1993, and was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Appleton, WI. The Founding Rotarian was Ron Reynolds, who continues to be an active member. From the beginning, the club enjoyed starting their meetings with a song. Now, each meeting features opening music from the club’s own band – the Troubadours. The club has grown to be an active and vibrant organization of over 80 members, committed to service in the Waupaca area and around the world.
