Formed in 2012, the Rotary Club of the Upper Main Line (UML) is one of the newest Rotary Clubs in the Philadelphia region. We partner with many local organizations in addition to Rotary International’s humanitarian missions to fight hunger, provide clean water and sanitation, promote education and literacy, and eradicate polio. Learn more about who we are and what we do.

Our Rotary Club meets Wednesday mornings for breakfast, except for the last Wednesday of the month when we have a happy hour instead. Please see our calendar for times and locations of our meetings and service projects. We welcome everyone our community and we’d love for you to join us!

Turkeys were roasted and carved, potatoes cooked and mashed, stuffing and green beans were prepared, and pies were baked before being packaged for distribution today.

This morning our club welcomed Carol Ferguson, a Polio survivor and a founding member of the Pennsylvania Polio Survivors Network. Carol shared her journey as a Polio survivor and the history of the disease and available preventative cures. Carol's story hits close to home as we remember to support Rotary International's "End Polio Now" campaign. The eradication of polio is one of RI's longest standing and most significant efforts, offering immunizations to children in 122 countries and reducing polio cases by 99.9 percent worldwide.

This past Friday, the Rotary Club of the Upper Main Line presented the Trellis for Tomorrow organization with a plaque commemorating the completion of the shed, which was built jointly with our fellow Rotarians and the Trellis crew. The non-profit organization manages community gardens to benefit neighbors in need and provides youth programs with hands on work. The shed was constructed jointly by fellow rotarians and the Trellis crew during the summer. It will house the Trellis tools that were previously stored on the 3rd floor of the Heart building.
