Welcome to the Rotary Club of Fall River’s website.  We hope this site will give you a little insight into who we are and what we do, and that it will spark enough interest for you to come down to White’s on almost any Thursday and meet us in person. At this time, we are holding weekly meetings via Zoom.

Rotary is a International organization that unites neighbors, community leaders, and global citizens for the common good.  This year’s theme is “Rotary Opens Opportunities” Major areas of focus include our environment, promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, saving mothers and children, supporting education, and growing local communities.  The Fall River club supports these efforts locally and internationally. 
 

Here in the Greater Fall River community, we support the work of local non-profit organizations and schools through small grants, collaborate and volunteer on vocational, environmental and community service projects, sponsor two high school Interact Clubs to help young people develop leadership skills while making a difference, and provide scholarships to graduating seniors who exemplify the Rotary motto of "Service Above Self".  We also run several programs of our own such as Backpacks for Back-to-School filled with schools supplies for low income children, and Happy Feet to provide new sneakers and socks to children in need just to name a few.  We are able to finance our efforts though fundraisers, most notably our Pancake Breakfast in the Spring and this year (2020) our club is celebrating 100th anniversary with a 100 Year Gala, tentatively scheduled on November 14th. It’s an exciting and historic time to be a member!

We are always looking for passionate people who want to make an impact in their community and beyond. Imagine how much more you could achieve working alongside other like-minded Rotarians!
