Welcome to the Rotary Club of Eau Claire

Rotary Lights Bridge Update
Bridge repairs will continue into the summer of 2025. Many lights and other electronic components are being repaired or replaced. Please be patient as we work with the City to have the bridge back to its glory.
 
We look forward to having a color schedule and sponsorship opportunities to have the bridge shine in your colors this fall.

The project was made possible with grants from District 6250 and Rotary International Foundation as well as donations from Eau Claire Rotary club members and the Rotary Clubs of Chippewa Falls, Menomonie-Sunrise, Tomah, and Accra-East in Ghana.
