Our History.
Our Rotary EClub was born from one of the 'oldest' Rotary Clubs in the Rotary International family.
On 22 February 1947 the Rotary Club of Walnut Cove was chartered in Stokes County, North Carolina, USA. On the last day of the Rotary 2016-17 year, that club merged with Rotarians living in the US and Australia to become the Rotary E-Club of Global Trekkers D7690.
We are an incredibly diverse group.
Our members come from a wide range of backgrounds, nationalities and cultures. We physically undertake several of our Rotary signature service projects on the ground in North Carolina where we are headquartered, and also in other locations in the US and globally.
(Australia, Mexico, Spain, Colombia, Thailand Philippines).
Our service is unique, meaningful and FUN!
Our members nominate service projects from Rotary's Seven Areas of Focus.
