The purpose of this roster is to ensure that all Rotary veterans can be informed

opportunities are available, and about relevant Veterans Affairs Committee activities.

If you are a military, guard, or reserve veteran, please reply to Chris Moore with

your name and branch of service. It's that simple.

The Rotary veterans roster will be available solely to Rotary members via the

members only log-in page of the Champaign Rotary Club website. Please contact

Chris Moore if you have any questions. Thank you.
