Rotary Club of Baton Rouge

Today, November 4, 2026, the Rotary Club of Baton Rouge is turning fellowship into immediate community impact. Our members are leading by example by donating blood during today's in-person meeting to help meet the critical need in our local healthcare network.

At Rotary, "Service Above Self" isn't just a motto—it's a commitment to taking action where it matters most.

If you are at today's meeting, please take a moment to donate!

Today, a group of Rotary Club of Baton Rouge members enjoyed a visit to the Knock Knock Children's Museum as part of our annual Rotary Offsite Fellowship.

We enjoyed exploring the museum and seeing firsthand how Knock Knock encourages children to learn, discover, and grow through hands-on play.

It’s always great to get out into the community and see the incredible organizations making Baton Rouge a better place for families and future generations.

A big thank you to the Knock Knock team for welcoming us today!
