District 6630 Rotary E-ClubNEO was launched in June 2020 as a Satellite Club of the Rotary Club of Northampton-Cuyahoga Valley. The vision behind creating an online-based Rotary Club was to provide a flexible and meaningful Rotary experience for individuals whose professional or personal commitments make it difficult to attend traditional, in-person "meal" club meetings.
In 2023, the Rotary E-ClubNEO was officially chartered as an independent Rotary Club. Despite being a small group, the Club has been impressively active—completing or participating in more than 30 service projects in just a few years (listed below). Every member plays a leadership role, whether as a club officer or a committee chair.
In 2024, our name was changed by Rotary International to The Rotary Club of Northeast Ohio, however, we still use the short version of Rotary E-ClubNEO since our website www.eclubneo.org, Rotary shirts and materials still reflect this name.
Many of our members are spouses/partners of Rotarians from other clubs with less accommodating schedules. The E-ClubNEO’s flexibility allows them to stay actively engaged in Rotary service and fellowship.
Meeting Schedule:
- Virtual Meetings: 2nd and 4th Saturdays each month via Zoom
- In-Person Gatherings: Occur periodically for service projects or social events, either in addition to or in place of virtual meetings.
As a small but energetic club, we always welcome opportunities to collaborate with other Rotary or Rotaract Clubs on service initiatives and fundraising events.
