Rotary Club of Nome
About Our Club
Since 1946, the Rotary Club of Nome has been an active leader in the community of Nome, Alaska. Our club meets every Wednesday at 12 Noon. We welcome you to join us during any weekly meeting at Nome's Airport Pizza! Drop by to learn more about the club or what is taking place in the community, the region, or the state through one of our weekly speakers.
