The Rotary Club of Bay St. Louis was officially chartered on July 29, 1925, and in their first year they led the effort in getting a certified Chamber of Commerce for the city, which in turn promoted commerce and tourism.

After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Rotary Clubs from across America and around the world were instrumental in working together to bring a new Community Hall to Bay St Louis. In commemorating the one hundredth anniversary of the Rotary Club of Bay St Louis (1925-2025), this new Centennial Display will stand at the entrance to the Community Hall welcoming all visitors!
