Our Weekly Meeting: 

Monday, February 6, 2012 at noon

at the Wildhorse Saloon, 120 Second Avenue North

Kyle Young, Director

Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum

Kyle Young is the chief executive of America's principal archive of country music history and Nashville's preeminent tourist destination with a half-million visitors each year. We will hear about the exciting expansion of this important museum (now underway in the heart of downtown) and its relevance to the future of Nashville

The new space will be housed in an exterior "shell" to be constructed between the Hall of Fame and the in-progress Omni Hotel. The Omni will provide the shell, while the Hall will build the interior.   Among the features planned for the addition are an 800-seat theater, a children's gallery, a recording studio, classrooms, retail space (including Hatch Show Print), exhibit gallery and archival storage

Rotary clubs worldwide are making a push to raise funds to wipe out Polio.   Thanks to the efforts of Rotary International and other organizations over the last two decades, polio cases have reduced by 99 % and Rotary, along with other international organizations, are aiming to get rid of the last 1%.

In service to our members and our community since 1913!

The Rotary Club of Nashville is the oldest and most influential civic club in Nashville.  Founded in 1913, our club was the 94th Rotary Club established by Rotary International and is currently the 10th largest of the 32,000 clubs worldwide.

Our membership includes over 500 preeminent business and civic leaders in the greater Nashville community including two members of Congress.  Our members are people who look beyond themselves to their community, nation and the world. They seek the truth, let fairness govern their relationships, endeavor to build goodwill and better friendships, and strive to benefit all in every interpersonal relationship.  In short, Rotary members put Service Above Self.
