Rotary Club of Pell City strives to present dynamic speakers each week, serving as a conduit for learning more about our community, our club and the world beyond their borders.
One of the more animated speakers in 2022 was Al Mathis, owner and CEO of DeSoto Caverns and Family Fun Park, one of Alabama’s most popular tourist attractions. Mathis used props and was constantly in motion to hold attention and deliver a compelling program on Rotary’s Four Way Test.
Mathis’ interest in Rotary was passed down through his grandfather, H.J. Taylor, who was a past president of Rotary International and writer of Rotary’s code of ethics, the 4-Way Test.
He has served as president of his Rotary Club in Sylacauga and in many local and district level Rotary positions. He was a keynote speaker at Rotary’s International’s Zone Institute during the 100th anniversary convention in Chicago. In addition, he runs the 4-Way Test Association as well as the Christian Workers Foundation out of his office.
