The Rotary Club of Williston-Richmond was founded 25 years ago and continues as a vibrant, active group serving the communities of Williston, Richmond and St. George, Vermont.
People of Action
Our club offers opportunities for our members -- and those interested in making a difference -- to get involved. Through meetings, social events, and volunteer projects, our members learn about the issues facing our community and communities all over the world, partnering with local, national, and global experts to exchange ideas about potential solutions and to draw up action plans to respond. Along with these opportunities to serve, members also are able to regularly network, resulting in lifelong friendships and business connections.
Our club is a proud part of this community and of Rotary International. Rotary is a global network of more than 1.2 million members who believe that great things happen when dedicated minds come together. We are community members and business people representing different professions, experiences, and perspectives but with a shared desire to connect with others to address the challenges affecting our community and communities around the world.
We seek to embody the Rotary motto of "Service Above Self."
