Downtown Vancouver Rotary Lunch — Weekly Noon Meeting

The Rotary Club of Vancouver meets weekly on Mondays from noon to 1 p.m. at the AC Marriott Waterfront, 333 W. Columbia Way on the Vancouver waterfront, according to the club’s website and local event listings. The lunch meeting is open to guests and prospective members, not only existing Rotarians. The club says lunch costs $26 and parking is free. Local event listings carried by The Columbian and the “This is Vancouver, WA” newsletter also describe the gathering as a weekly public lunch meeting at the same location and time. ### Which Rotary club is holding this lunch? The Rotary Club of Vancouver — sometimes described in listings as the Downtown Vancouver Rotary Club — is the organizer tied to the weekly noon meeting at the AC Marriott Waterfront. The club’s website says “Vancouver Rotary meets Mondays from noon to 1 p.m. at the AC Marriott Waterfront,” and invites “new members and guests” to join. (vancouverrotaryclub.org) The Columbian’s events pages use similar language, saying the Rotary Club of Downtown Vancouver invites community members to its weekly lunch meeting from noon to 1 p.m. Mondays at the AC Marriott on the Vancouver waterfront. Those listings link readers back to the Vancouver Rotary club site for more information. (vancouverrotaryclub.org) ### What day does it meet this week? Monday is the regular meeting day listed by the club and by local event calendars. Because August 6, 2026, falls on a Thursday, the next regularly scheduled lunch meeting would be Monday, August 10, 2026, unless the club posts a holiday cancellation or schedule change. That date is an inference from the standing Monday schedule and the current calendar. (events.columbian.com) A club bulletin captured by DACdb shows the group has long used Monday noon meetings at the AC Marriott Waterfront and may occasionally skip a meeting for holidays. In that 2025 bulletin, the club listed “Labor Day NO MEETING” for Sept. 1, underscoring that readers should check the current weekly posting before showing up. (vancouverrotaryclub.org) ### Where exactly is the lunch held? The AC Marriott Waterfront is the stated venue across the club’s own meeting notice and outside event listings. The address given in the club’s weekly agenda post is 333 W. Columbia Way, Vancouver. The Columbian event listing identifies the venue as the AC Hotel by Marriott Vancouver Waterfront and tags the series as a clubs-and-meetings event for adults 18 and older. (dacdb.com) The listing describes the event as free to attend, while the club’s own site says lunch is $26, suggesting attendance may be open even if buying lunch is separate. (vancouverrotaryclub.org) ### What happens during the hour? A July 27, 2026, club agenda posted on the Vancouver Rotary site shows a structured lunch-hour program with a presiding president, song, pledge, moment of inspiration and a featured speaker. That meeting’s program was listed as Vancouver Mayor Anne McEnerny-Ogle speaking on an Interstate Bridge update. (events.columbian.com) The same post also listed greeters, cashiers and a proposed new member, showing the meeting functions both as a public-facing lunch and as regular club business. A separate DACdb bulletin from 2025 shows the club also schedules nonprofit, youth exchange and community speakers. ### Do you need to be a member to go? The club’s website says “New members and guests are always welcome to join us,” which is the clearest statement that nonmembers can attend. (vancouverrotaryclub.org) The Columbian organizer page likewise says community members are invited to the weekly lunch meeting. The “This is Vancouver, WA” newsletter included the lunch in a local events roundup, describing it as a community-welcome weekly lunch meeting at the AC Marriott on the waterfront from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. (vancouverrotaryclub.org) ### What should someone check before going next Monday? August 10, 2026, is the next Monday on the calendar, and the club typically posts that week’s agenda and speaker on its website. (vancouverrotaryclub.org) The most reliable pre-visit details are the club’s weekly meeting post, which has recently included the date, speaker and venue, and local event listings from The Columbian. (buttondown.com) The standing details remain noon to 1 p.m. at 333 W. Columbia Way, with lunch priced at $26 and parking listed as free by the club. Guests looking for the upcoming speaker or any last-minute cancellation would need the latest Monday-specific posting before attending. (vancouverrotaryclub.org)
