Rotary Club of Nashville

Fair warning: Do not expect to win when bowling with Johari Matthews! Johari leads the Tennessee Titans Foundation and ONE Community, bringing her trademark collaborative spirit to this important role in our community. Check out our latest Rotarian You Should Know feature on Johari and be on the lookout for Johari singing in her car and grabbing a coffee at Slow Drop in Bordeaux. #Rotary #ServiceAboveSelf

We created Rotaract of Nashville to gather outstanding young professionals to learn about our community and serve together.

If you are watching the skies today, you may also want to watch Nashville Severe Weather. Thanks to Andrew Leeper for sharing how Nashville Severe Weather got its start and why they continue to invest in the newest radar technology. Many Middle Tennesseans tune in to make outdoor plans and to stay safe when bad weather is expected. Big thanks to Brian Young for bringing Andrew to the Rotary podium. We also officially welcomed not one, but two great new members from United Way of Greater Nashville. Thanks to Tony Heard for introducing Erica Mitchell and Courtney Barlar! #Rotary
