The Rotary Club of Newnan is a service club — seventy-one men and women who live or work in Coweta County, meet for lunch every Wednesday, and take on work the community needs done.
The club was chartered on February 29, 1924. It is one of 68 clubs in Rotary District 6900, and part of a network of Rotary clubs in most countries in the world.
Every Wednesday at noon at the Newnan Country Club, 1356 US-29, Newnan. We finish at one.
Guests are welcome any week. No invitation, no reservation.
In the community. We sponsor and produce Newnan's Fourth of July fireworks, and have for nearly forty years. Our community grants go to 501(c)(3) organizations serving Coweta County, funded largely by the Tour of Coweta — our annual cycling event out of the historic Newnan train depot. Members pack food for Backpack Buddies and assemble toiletry kits for The Samaritan Clinic.
With young people. The Rotary Cup has gone to an outstanding graduating senior at each of the county's six high schools since the 1930s — Newnan, East Coweta, Northgate, Heritage, Trinity Christian and Central Christian. The club is also the local sponsor of the statewide STAR Student program, honoring each school's top scholar and the teacher that student chooses. We sponsor Interact clubs at Newnan High School and East Coweta High School.
For those who serve. Each Memorial Day the club sets about 110 crosses in downtown Newnan, honoring the fallen from World War I to the present. We also present annual Service Above Self Awards recognizing local first responders.
Around the world. Since 1952 the club has sponsored scholars through the Georgia Rotary Student Program, hosting students from 35 countries. Through The Rotary Foundation we take part in Rotary's work to end polio.
In August 2026, Rotary International named the Rotary Club of Newnan a recipient of its Club Excellence Award for the 2025-26 year — recognition earned by the membership as a whole.
The best way to understand a Rotary club is to sit in one. Come to lunch any Wednesday.
