Georgetown-Millsboro Rotary Club

Welcome to the Georgetown-Millsboro Rotary Club's website. We are located in the center of Sussex County, Delaware in the heart of the DelMarVa Peninsula. This area is known as Lower, Slower Delaware and we are happy to live and work here.

We meet at Mulligan's Pointe (formerly Sussex Pines C. C.). Please join us any Tuesday at noon (except the fourth Tuesday when we have a Club Assembly to conduct business). 

Please click on the Speakers page for a list of upcoming speakers and topics. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Ray Hopkins and Lewis Briggs, Co-Presidents

Meeting on Zoom

Out of an abundance of caution for our members, the club is meeting  by Zoom every other Tuesday until further notice. February meetings will be on the 9th and 23rd.

Congratulations Darel

Congratulations to our President-Elect Darel La Prade for being recognized for his leadership as president of the Milford Chamber of Commerce from 2018-2020. Darel was the first president to serve for three years.

Flags for Heroes

Flags for Heroes 2021 "kick off" February 15th.

Flags for Heroes 2020 was again successful even with all of the Coronavirus challenges. We are very pleased with 409 sponsorships. Over 500 American flags were proudly displayed in six locations in Georgetown and Millsboro the week before and the week after July 4th. We displayed about 100 flags in six locations before and after Memorial Day. The same number of flags will be displayed before and after Veterans Day. In 2021, please consider honoring our active duty military, veterans, police, firefighters, first responders or your personal hero with a $50 flag sponsorship. A special thanks to all of our Corporate Sponsors listed on the right.

Please visit the Rotary District 7630 website for information on District events. Also see the event calendar on DaCdb.

This website was created and is maintained by Dan Tabler. Suggestions for improving the site are always welcome as are proof readers.
