A Message from the Club President

Presidents Message

Thank you for visiting our Website.   The Rotary Club of Middletown is known as the “Most Fun Club in Lake County” with the smallest membership who gives the most “Bang” for their “Buck”.  Since our inception our club has demonstrated our commitment to the youth and the community of South Lake County whose hub is the beautiful city of Middletown and the communities of Hidden Valley Lake and Cobb.  I would like to introduce you to Rotary.

WHAT’S ROTARY?

ROTARY is Polio Plus, Rotary’s commitment to work with national and international health organizations on the goal of polio eradication by the year 2005, Rotary’s 100th anniversary. More than one billion children in developing nations have been immunized against polio through Polio Plus grants.

ROTARY IS SERVICE ABOVE SELF

ROTARY IS . . .

ROTARY is an organization of business and professional leaders united  worldwide, who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.

ROTARY is the world’s first service club. The first Rotary club was founded in Chicago, Illinois, USA on 23 February 1905.

ROTARY is some 1.2 million service-minded men and women belonging to more than 28,000 Rotary clubs in virtually every nation in the world.

ROTARIANS meet weekly for fellowship and interesting and informative programs dealing with topics of local and global importance. Membership reflects a wide cross-section of community representation.

ROTARIANS plan and carry out a remarkable variety of humanitarian, educational, and cultural exchange programs that touch people’s lives in their

local communities and our world community.

ROTARY is The Rotary Foundation, which each year provides some US$90 million for international scholarships, cultural exchanges, and humanitarian

projects large and small that improve the quality of life for millions of people. Rotary is widely regarded as the world’s largest private provider of

international educational scholarships.
