Our History

The Rotary Club of Dallas was chartered on March 19, 1927 at the Raub’s Hotel on the corner of Lake and Church Streets in Dallas, Pennsylvania. Since 1927, the Rotary has been a cornerstone of the Back Mountain Community beginning with its first charitable act of hosting a dinner to honor veterans of the Civil War. 


The club went on to start the Dallas Rotary Fair, which would eventually grow into the Luzerne Country Fair. We also started the Back Mountain Memorial Library and its subsequent annual auction and initiated the Old School football game played annually between the Dallas High School team and Lake Lehman team. Today, the club sponsors more than two-dozen charitable projects, and hosts 2 major fundraisers annually. 


Rotary International's Youth Exchange Program was also started by the Dallas Rotary.


On an international level, we have and continue to contribute to the Rotary International goal "to take action on our world’s most persistent issues." Rotary International's mission for more than 35 years has been to eradicate polio.  Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan. 


The Rotary Club of Dallas meets every Thursday evening at 6:30 PM at the AppleTree Terrace at Newberry Estate.
