About Us :

The Blakely Rotary Club was chartered June 2, 1926 as Blakely’s first service club. The Charter Night celebration was held on June 22 of that year. A large delegation from the Albany Rotary Club was present at the event as the sponsoring club. For more than 80 years the Blakely Rotary Club has provided the community with humanitarian and educational activities each year.
