Beyond financial contributions, our members actively volunteer their time. From organizing large-scale events to supporting local projects, hands-on service remains a core part of our impact.
We work closely with schools, nonprofits, and community organizations to extend our reach and respond effectively to local needs. These partnerships allow us to maximize the impact of both our funding and our volunteer efforts.
Below are recent stories and highlights that showcase our work in action.
The Meredith Rotary Club recently sponsored a weekend of fun and adventure for 10 Rotary Youth Exchange students hosted by Rotary clubs in northern New England. The students were from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Finland, France, Japan, Poland, Spain, and Sweden. Students in the Rotary Youth Exchange Program spend the entire school year with host families in the United States.
The Meredith Rotary Club held its annual Changing of the Guard on June 24, 2026, recognizing outgoing President Jim McFarlin for a year of meaningful service and welcoming Bonnie Ireland as the club's incoming president.
At its June 3, 2026 Award Night, the Meredith Rotary Club presented the Community Service Award to Eliza Leadbeater and named Dean Gulezian its Rotarian of the Year, recognizing two individuals whose contributions to the community and to the club run deep.
