About Stennis Rotary Club

The Rotary Club of Stennis Space Center held its organizational meeting on January 18, 2000 under the sponsorship and support of the Edgewater Club and received its charter from Rotary International on June 22, 2000, with twenty-five members.

The Stennis Club is a non-traditional, small club with many members frequently and extensively on business travel. Unique among all Rotary Clubs in that no one lives permanently at Stennis and its members live on the Gulf Coast, Pearl River County and St. Tammany Parish.

The site, known today as NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center (SSC), boasts a rich and colorful history dating as far back as 1699. Indians, settlers, pirates and soldiers shaped this part of Mississippi which now hosts modern-day explorers. Over the years, SSC has evolved into a multidisciplinary facility made up of NASA and 30 other resident agencies engaged in space and environmental programs and the national defense, including the U.S. Navy's world-class oceanographic research community. This diversity allows the club to be just as diverse in its membership. The Stennis Rotary membership includes active military, retired military, Federal civil service, industry, university, and government contractors.
