• The 1st Wednesday of each month we have a business meeting.
• The 2nd and 4th meetings we have a guest speaker.  The speakers and their topics vary week to week.  We have had speakers from local non-profit organizations, local community leaders, local businesses, and even other rotary clubs.   Featured speakers have included Mayors and other political figures including County and State Representatives such as Anthony Holt and William Lamberth.
• The 3rd Wednesday of each month we have a Rotary Information Meeting in which we discuss the values and impact of Rotary at international, national, state, and community levels.
• When there is a 5th Wednesday in any month, we have a social meeting at a local restaurant.

Food

Our weekly lunch typically comes from Top of the Ridge in Portland.  The 1st and 5th Wednesdays we have food from a variety of local restaurants here in Portland.

Meeting Structure

At the start of each meeting, we begin with an invocation, pledge allegiance to the flag, and recite the Rotary Four-Way Test.

4 Way Test

Every week we recite the four way test to remind us to be the best person, both professionally and personally, that we can be.  ​
The Rotary Club Four-Way Test

• Is it the Truth?                                                 
• Is it Fair to all concerned?
• Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships? 
• Will it be Beneficial to All Concerned?
