The Sneads Ferry Rotary Club was charter in 1993 with 25 members.  John Henderson was the first president and from the very beginning the club’s primary focus has been to help the needy, elderly and youth of our community.  During a typical year, now we are active in over 30 projects.

In addition to the local projects, the club participates in international endeavors, polio eradication and the Joe Andes Project in South America.

The club has now grown to 45 members and has become a more diverse group.  In addition to the usual business people, there are a good number of women and retired people.  This diversity has added to the personality of the club.

The Sneads Ferry Rotary Club has become the primary organization in the community where needs and actions are addressed.  Illnesses, fires, family problems and a number of other issues are readily taken on by the club. 

The club’s primary fund-raising project is the Sneads Ferry King Mackerel Tournament held each year in August.  This money now over $30,000.00 funds all the many projects done by the club.  The three main projects done each year include:  The Percy Jenkins Senior Citizens Dinner, the high school scholarship program and the annual giving during Christmas.  In addition, the club is involved in:  support for scouts, Ryla, a rotary leadership training for high school juniors,  support for the Winter Fest, Lake Wacamaw Boys and Girls Home, Caring for Kids, Fire Departments, Project Graduation, drug eradication just to name a few. 

Service above self is not just a slogan but a real part of what our Rotary Club is about on a daily basis.  We will continue to be the lead organization in the area when needs are identified.
