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 that you will come down to White’s for lunch on almost any Thursday and meet us in person.

The Rotary Club of Fall River awarded 13 scholarships to greater Fall River area high school graduates who exemplify the Rotary motto of “Service Above Self”. Students received $1,000 each at the June 14th meeting. Juliette Almeida, co-chair of the scholarship committee stated, “winners of these scholarships not only have an outstanding academic record, but are active participants in school and community service activities; in many cases volunteering hundreds of hours to a wide variety of causes." Each of the students will be attending a two or four-year college starting this autumn. Planned courses of study include nursing, veterinary services, medical research, political science/law, classical voice, and business/finance. New this year was a scholarship generously donated by Rotarian Thomas McGarr who spent his working years as an educator and one scholarship in memory of Jim Collins, a long time Rotarian who passed away this past year.
