In 1905, Paul Harris and fellow businessmen founded Rotary as a means to serve their community and to enhance their businesses through friendship and networking. The Rotary Club of Alabaster-Pelham was officially formed in 1970 by a like-minded group of influential businessmen in the Shelby County area with a philosophy of community responsibility and service.
The Rotary Club of Alabaster-Pelham belatedly celebrated our club’s 50th anniversary in 2021. Today our membership includes 25 business men and women with the same philosophy of community responsibility and service as that of our founders. The Club’s By-Laws declared that weekly meetings would be held at noon on Thursdays in Alabaster, Alabama and that is still true today.
