What is Rotary?
Clubs are at the heart of Rotary. Local clubs are supported by Rotary Districts, Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation. Clubs bring together dedicated individuals to exchange ideas, build relationships, and take action. Rotary clubs use generous donations of time, money and in-kind supplies to support projects by Rotarians and our partners in communities at home and around the world. Together, Rotary clubs, districts and Rotary International work to make lasting improvements worldwide.
A very active 43-member service club, the Rotary Club of Athabasca volunteers and contributes to the betterment of the Athabasca area and other communities. Since the club was chartered in January 1986, Athabascan Rotarians and friends have worked steadily to make a difference and create a better world. Well over $1.5 million has been raised and reinvested in community facilities and program in the Athabasca area. We welcome enquiries and Wednesday noon meeting visits.
