About Us:

Anchorage South Rotary (ASR) had it first organizational meeting on May 21, 1979 at Asia Gardens Restaurant. Ed Muhlhauser and Ken Stephenson, then-members of the Spenard Club (now known as the International Club), arranged for friends and acquaintances to get together to form a new Rotary Club. After securing a written commitment from 35 individuals, a list of charter members was forwarded to Rotary International. For a short time, membership dropped to below 30 members, but has been growing ever since.

The club was originally part of District 503, then later 501 when Alaska broke off from Seattle. It was later renamed District 5010. Members of Anchorage South Rotary are very involved in the club, their community, the Rotary District 5010 and on an International-level. Year after year, we receive awards for attendance, community service projects, and our newsletter, the SCOOP.
