The Rotary Club of Indian Rocks Beach and the entire community are saddened by the loss of Rick Walker. Rick was our current Club President, an amazing man and Rotarian who embodied the motto “Service Above Self”. Always there to listen, help out and lend a hand while doing it quietly, patiently and without complaint. His involvement and impact on the community was tremendous. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Jan, his family and friends. Below is a link to make a donation to the Indian Rocks Rotary Foundation in memory of Rick.
The Rotary Club of Indian Rocks Beach (IRB) was founded in 1998 by a group of business leaders looking for the opportunity to give back. We work hard to raise funds that allow us to support causes that impact our local community but contribute to international projects.
The Rotary motto “Service Above Self” is the true mission and the core value of our club. IRB Rotarians also like to have fun while doing good deeds!
Please join us at our weekly Wednesday morning meetings (scroll down for location). We welcome visiting Rotarians and also guests. We are always looking for interested members of the community to join our club in service and fellowship!
Our primary fundraisers are: Pancake Breakfast; Rotary Runs the Beach 5K & 1 Miler; Flags for Service, and the Big Game Raffle. Our fundraisers have raised over $400,000 since our clubs’ inception!
