Club Service functions through several committees which are listed below. If you have an interest in serving on one or more of these important committees, please be in touch with Walter Cole, the committee chairperson or a member of the committee.

Web Page – Gordon Irwin is the chairperson. Gordon has done a terrific job in establishing our Maryville Rotary web site. The site is easy to use. Gordon needs information from all of us to put on the web site. Most clubs agree that a great web site is important to attracting new members and keeping the interest of existing members. Materials for the website will be appreciated. If you are sending pictures please just send one or two that you want published. The file size for pictures should be under 100 kb if possible or we will edit them for you.


Bulletin – Walter Cole and Jeff Eberting are going to give it shot, but if you are interested in doing this, just let us know. Like Gordon, Walter needs information from you for the bulletin. The bulletin will be presented on the Club’s web site and sent to each member's e-mail address.

Facilities – Virginia Hardwick is the chairperson. This committee deals with our meeting place and accommodations.

Fellowship – Kenneth Gates is the chairperson. Fellowship is an important part of every meeting of our Maryville Rotary Club. Fellowship can be something to make us laugh a little, entertain us, or educate us. It is also the source of  “happy dollars” which go to support Polio Plus.  If you have something to be happy about or to share just give a dollar (or more) and tell the club about it. If you have interest in presenting a fellowship program just let Kenneth know.

Greeters – Jeff Breazeale is the chairperson. Greeters get us all off to a good start with a welcome to Maryville Rotary. Greeters greet everyone before each meeting. Greeting is a good thing for newer members to do so they can get to meet everyone. Greeters make our members and guests feel welcome. If you would like to be a greeter let Jeff know and if Jeff asks you to be a greeter, just do it.

Programs – Jim Green is the chairperson through December and Jeff Eberting is the chairperson from January to June. The programs committee is in charge of arranging speakers for most all of our Club’s meetings. One member is asked to agree to arrange for speakers for one month during the Rotary year. Programs are an important aspect of our Club’s meetings. Interesting and informative speakers are a vital part of keeping members interested in attending meetings. If you would like to arrange for speakers for a month or if you know of someone who would make a good speaker for even one meeting let Jim or Jeff know and we may be able to work that speaker into one of the programs.

Public Relations – This committee is made up of John HuffmanJeff Eberting, Don MooreWalter Cole, and Bob Beasley. Good positive public relations are vital to recognition for our Club in the Community. Public relations inform communities that Rotary and Maryville Rotary are credible organizations that meet real needs. When Maryville Rotary has a positive public image current members are motivated to be active and prospective members are eager to join. The public relations committee develops a plan to provide the public with information about Rotary and Maryville Rotary and promotes our Club’s service projects and activities. The public relations committee should work with the entire Club and all of the committees to establish good and positive public relations. If you are interested in working with this committee or you have ideas to improve our Club’s public relations let Jeff know.
