1 FUN MEETINGS
Thursdays, noon at Cody Auditorium, is the place to be! For a club known to top each other at the Rotary show, our regular meetings are informative and always upbeat. Laughter truly is the best medicine, and even our "sick" jokes are healed with the good humor and camaraderie of our club members. Spontaneous singing has also been know to happen, sometimes by members with talent!

Each spring, we produce a two hour comedy/variety extravaganza known as "The Cody Rotary Show” that spoofs the townsfolk and politics of Cody, Wyoming. Coupled with the Pre-Show Silent Auction, this is our largest fundraiser.
Rotarians annually help at the prestigious Buffalo Bill Art Show to support two great local entities: the Cody Country Chamber of Commerce and Buffalo Bill Historical Center

5 INTERNATIONAL SERVICE
|
Cody Rotarians serving people in Guatemala
|
2010/11 project:
To provide fresh drinking water to Arenal, Guatemala in South America, we partnered with Cody Presbyterian Church and Presbyterian Living Waters for the World, to co-ordinate, build and house a fresh-water pump system. Of equal importance is to protect and train the residents to maintain the system to keep it working.
2008/09: Our club raised money and delivered 260 wheelchairs to Guatemala residents who could not walk without assistance

Situated 50 miles from Yellowstone's East Gate, Cody, WY offers charming western hospitality to all visitors and we happily host Rotary GSE teams visiting the United States. (GSA: Rotary Group Study Exchange, which allows professionals 25-40 to travel and study as a team abroad.)
During different years we host foreign exchange students and recently hosted our regional district conference where exchange students from all over the world converged in Cody.

7 INTERACT
|
Interact is Rotary International's service club for young people ages 12 to 18. Interact clubs are sponsored by individual Rotary clubs, which provide support and guidance, but they are self-governing and self-supporting. The Cody Interact Club meets at Cody High School and completes at least two community service projects each year.

8 SOCIAL EVENTS
|
We love a party! Each quarter our Social Committee designs unique get-togethers for socializing, from backyard barbeques, Trolley Christmas caroling, Valentine dinners or a trip to Theatre in the Round. Two club favorites: the Promotion/Demotion Party, which is held shortly following the end of the president’s term in June to celebrate the outgoing president, And, the Cody Rotary Show-Cast party that immediately follows our Saturday night performance.

9 CIVIC PRIDE
|
The Cody Rotary Club "Service Above Self Award" is presented each year to a deserving non-Rotarian to honor work that they do in our community that exemplifies Rotary's motto, Service Above Self. This year, we honor Ret. Senator Alan Simpson and Love Murray for their Service Above Self to our community. In addition, we also wish to honor Ret. Senator Simpson for his Service Above Self to our country. Alan and Love have helped make Cody a great place to live!!
To honor our military soldiers and veterans, we perform a "Salute to the Armed Forces." at the close of our Rotary show. The entire club sings the battle hymn of each branch of the military, and during each hymn we ask those who have served and their families to stand up and be recognized. It is the highlight of the show for many of us.
