Serving Galena Since 1984
Galena, Illinois: tourists flock here by the millions each year to enjoy the gently rolling hills, architectural marvels, and laid-back atmosphere. The result is a quaint Midwestern town with a population of 3,500 that boasts restaurants and boutiques of the highest imaginable quality, welcoming travelers from all over the globe.
In this setting emerged the Rotary Club of Galena. Rotary brings the motto "Service Above Self," "The Four Way Test," and the idea of "Vocation as a Service" - that each of us have something important to contribute to the overall good of society as a whole.
"Service Above Self" is a trademark in a town that welcomes everyone - it's "Midwestern Hospitality." Likewise, "The Four Way Test" is called "being polite." And we like the pop-culture modification of "Will it Be Fun?"
