Plano Rotary Club Endowment

Plano Rotary Club was sponsored by the Richardson Rotary Club. In 1945, a group of business and professional men of Plano met with Roy Smith of Tyler. These 20 Plano men voted to apply for a charter in Rotary International. As soon as they could obtain a charter, they met each Thursday at noon in the Social Hall at the Methodist Church. From their humble beginnings to present day, the Plano Rotary Club now has 109 members who raise and distribute over $50,000 each year to local charities, scholarships and non-profit community organizations.
