Stratford Rotary Club News/Information

for September 30, 2025

All club dues are now owed. You must make arrangements with Pat for payment, please.

Stratford Rotary invites you to a Club Social at Dockside Restaurant on Tuesday, Sept 30, 5:30–7:30 PM.  Since we’ll be in Milford and share Area 5, the Milford, Orange and Devon Rotaries have been invited to join us. It’s a great chance to connect, enjoy appetizers, share some laughs, and perhaps even spark ideas for future events we can organize together —drinks are on your own.  A goodwill donation would be nice, but not required. 

Stratford holds a Social every 5th Tuesday, focused on fun and fellowship. We know that Rotary Builds Business is also that night for those interested in networking, while the Dockside Social is intended for relaxation and socializing for those not attending Rotary Builds Business.

We hope to see you!

 

Dockside Address:

40 Bridgeport Ave, Milford, CT 06460

October's Happy Dollars will be going to Polio Plus

November's Happy Dollars will be going to Rotary International

 

Events up next on the Rotary Stage

All hands on deck for one of our great events.

Hello Rotarians, it is time for our annual Dictionary/Thesaurus Project.  Each year, members of our Club visit the 3rd graders in Stratford to deliver Dictionaries to each student and the 5th graders to deliver Thesauruses.
We like to send two Rotarians into each school and you will have a lesson plan to share.  We talk a little about what the Rotary Club is, what we do in our community and around the world and the 4 Way Test.  Then we have some fun exploring the features of the dictionary and the thesaurus with the students.  I have the following slots available for school visits (2 for each school).  Send me an email at sszymanski@stratfordlibrary.org to sign up:
 
Mon.  10/6  10am  Wilcoxson 
Fri.  10/10  9am  Chapel
Wed. 10/15  9am  Eli Whitney
Mon. 10/20  9:30am  Franklin
Mon.  10/27  2pm Second Hill Lane

St. James no longer participates in the program (bummer)

Bingo is Back… Mark your calendars, November 7th @ 6:15 pm at the Baldwin Center.
