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).
