Welcome to The Rotary Club of Largs

The Rotary Club of Largs

Welcome!

The Rotary Club of Largs extends a warm welcome to those who may be interested in joining the Club, as well as to those who are just curious to learn more about the Club's activities. The Club was founded in 1958 and today has about 40 members. There are no age limits. The Club's core activity is raising funds for worthy causes, although being a Rotarian entails much more than this. The Club held its Golden Jubilee Dinner on 6th June 2008.
