Welcome to the Rotary Club of Hampton
Enjoy our website - we hope you take the time to learn more about us - the amazing service organization that's right here in your own community. The Rotary Club of Hampton members are professional and business men and women of all ages who gather weekly (see above) to share fellowship, a buffet breakfast or dinner, and communicate important updates and reports on service projects, fundraisers and meaningful programs that we are involved with, day in and day out. Each week an interesting speaker is invited to address the membership on any variety of topics - school issues, aviation, youth leadership, sports, non-profits, so on and so forth. There always seems to be a list of speakers waiting patiently to address our membership. But, this part of Rotary is simply the club fellowship, where members get an opportunity to meet and spend time with each other, where friendships are forged and multi generations are enjoying and learning from one another.
Unlike other organizations, Rotary is open to all ages (from twenties to eighties or even higher), we're in banking, education, law, architecture, real estate, insurance, energy utilities, newspaper media, small business, restaurant, we're retired, we're single, married, parents, grandparents, and quite honestly, we are just like you.
What we do have in common is that serving our community is important to us (we serve the communities of Hampton, North Hampton, Hampton Falls and Seabrook). Making sure that every man, woman and child that walk through the doors of the soup kitchen has a warm meal in their belly and an hour of respect and support. That every child is given the opportunity to learn to love to read, so that reading to learn becomes so natural and easy. That our local food pantries are filled with food, that children have the tools and supplies to do well in school. We're helping out at blood drives, reading to Headstart children, providing snowsuits to kids in need, so that they can play outside during the long cold winters, we're ringing the Salvation Army Bell, cleaning up roadsides, maintaining our children's park, providing scholarships and the list goes on and on. We're invested in our youth and the future for all of our communities children.

The Four-Way Test
The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians recite it at club meetings:
