On March 9th, 1937 Rantoul Rotary Club held its Charter Night. Earl Lynn, who ran the local lumber yard, was named the first president of the club. Since its charter the Rantoul Rotary Club has grown to 35 members. Over the years, the club has seen many changes and excitement. The Rantoul Rotary Club has hosted 19 foreign exchange students, provided for two local students to become exchange students, helped create an Interact youth organization at Rantoul Township High School, and continually provides monetary donations as well as other items to the Northern Champaign County Community Service Center.
