Meet Club President...Denis Pollina
 
 
 
Welcome to the official website for The Rotary Club of Northbrook. We are a group of volunteers committed to making a positive impact on our community and beyond. We believe that our acts of kindness provide meaningful affirmative changes to the lives of the people and communities that we serve. Our club is part of Rotary International, a global network of clubs, dedicated to creating a better world through service.
 
Through our various service projects, we address a wide range of critical issues, including poverty, hunger, physical health, mental health, deafness, homelessness, education, community development and the environment. 
 
We presently are helping to support approximately twenty-five nonprofit organizations. We provide support to them through monetary grants and volunteer work furnished by our members who selflessly dedicate their time. Rotary's motto is "service above self".  Our funding is provided by donations from our members, fund-raising drives, sponsors, Rotary International and generous donors.
 
Our website serves as a resource for members and the community. Here you can explore our up-coming events and ongoing projects and find opportunities to get involved. We encourage you to join us in making a positive difference in the world in which we live.

POWER OF ONE IS NOT JUST A MOTTO, IT’S A MISSION

 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SEPTEMBER 12 2024 NORTHBROOK ILL -- Rotary International, a global service organization of over 1.4 million members in over 37,000 clubs in 200 countries, was started in Chicago in1905 by 4 businessmen looking for fellowship and opportunities to perform service. It’s headquarters is in Evanston, Illinois.
 
When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the German Rotary Club began collecting humanitarian relief supplies to send to Ukraine by the truckload. Subsequent shipments included an ambulance which also served as a mobile operating room, a generator due to repeated Russian bombing of the electricity grid, and more and more humanitarian supplies.
 
Richard Rivkin, a Northbrook Rotarian and local business owner, learned that his long-time business friend in Germany was a member of the Rotary Club of Mühlacker-Enzkreis in southwestern Germany.
 
Northbrook Rotarians stepped up by providing financial support during this crisis – from day one. Fast forward to late spring of this year, Northbrook Rotarians learned that the German Rotarians would be preparing another truckload of humanitarian relief supplies in mid-summer and offered to assist.
 
In early August a team of 10 local Rotarians and guests joined with 16 members and guests from the Rotary Club of Mühlacker-Enzkreis to transfer a truckload of supplies at the Poland-Ukraine border utilizing a network of Franciscan monks for reliable distribution in western Ukraine.
 
We encourage the community to join us and hear about this experience from the members of the Rotary Club of Northbrook team.
The presentation will be at the regular lunch meeting of the Rotary Club of Northbrook on Tuesday, September 17 at 12:15 pm at the Hilton Northbrook, 2855 Milwaukee Avenue in Northbrook.
 
Reservations are required by Sept. 16th , reach out to Elke Friedman lunch is $35 or more donation, and a zoom option is possible by registering at zoom@northbrookrotary.org
