A Proud Club of District 5930

Our club is a vibrant and engaged community of like-minded individuals who share a common passion for service and making a positive impact in our local and global communities.

Our Logo History 

In the Southside Corpus Christi Rotary Club, there exists a captivating logo that tells a remarkable story of determination and artistic prowess. Its creator, Joe McInnis, defied the constraints of his wheelchair and the limitations on his arms and hands to craft this beautiful emblem. Through sheer tenacity, Joe skillfully drew the logo with his mouth and teeth, showcasing an unparalleled level of creativity and resilience.

Southside Rotary Stories
 
In August, the Rotary Club of Southside Corpus Christi celebrated the legacy of astronaut and fellow Rotarian Neil Armstrong, while also hosting enlightening talks from Whitney Hendley about Driscoll Children's Hospital and Kathleen Clark on Alzheimer's awareness. Our weekly meetings at the Corpus Christi Country Club continue to be a hub for community engagement and lifelong friendships. We also welcomed new members Dawn Liguez and Alka Khanolkar, adding fresh perspectives to our club. Additionally, members are encouraged to deepen their Rotary understanding through upcoming Rotary Leadership Institute classes. Join us in our mission to create hope and make a lasting impact.
