Greeley Centennial Rotary Gives You Two Meeting Options
Centennial Lunch Bunch
2nd and 4th Thursdays at Noon

The Centennial Rotary Lunch Bunch loves getting together twice a month. We get to learn about our community and beyond through great presentations.

Through the work of our World and Community Service Committee we are able to do good in our area and around the world. Much of our work locally focuses on students through scholarships, leadership programs and the Poudre Learning Center. Visit us to learn more!

Centennial Satellite Group
1st and 3rd Wednesday Evenings
 
Centennial's “satellite or companion” group was founded in 2018 to allow members, who couldn’t make the lunch meetings, an option to stay involved.
 
The satellite meets twice a month (1st and 3rd Wednesdays) at 5 PM. Mirroring the origins of Rotary, they “rotate” or meet at different locations each time they get together. With more informal meetings, this group has pursued hands-on service to our local community.

The Satellite Group meets:
