President's Message

On behalf of Reading Rotary, welcome to our website.  Reading Rotary is made up of community leaders with a desire to give back to our community. 

 

Reading Rotary supports many projects in our community as well as around our world including:  Reading Food Pantry; Reading Scholarship Foundation; purchase of a wheelchair accessible van for disabled and elderly residents; purchase and support of defibrillators for the Reading Fire Department; promote literacy by providing reading books to Reading Kindergarteners and First Graders; distribute trees to all Reading fifth graders for Arbor Day; Adopt a Family program; purchase of the Reading High School Band golf cart; Reading Education Foundation; RMHS Robotics team; Homelessness and Hunger Initiatives; Rotaplast project to treat cleft lips and palates; Polio Plus; Burbank YMCA; Cure Alzheimer’s; Understanding Disabilities; the Pan Mass Challenge; RCASA; Scouting; sponsor Interact Clubs; run the Snack Shack; run the Reading Fall Street Faire; and much more.

 

Reading Rotary joins over 1.2 million Rotarians in 33,000 Rotary clubs worldwide working to eradicate Polio, helping young children live healthier lives and rebuilding communities devastated by disaster.  Rotary International partners with the Gates Foundation, the WHO, UNICEF and the CDC in the effort to make polio only the second infectious disease eradicated.  

 

The Rotary motto is “Service Above Self.”  We are Rotarians because we believe in community service and helping make our communities better.

 

Please consider becoming part of our Rotary Club and help us make Reading and the world better places.  If you aren't able to join now, you can volunteer with us.  Please be our guest at a meeting and learn more about us. (See our Event Calendar for specifics.)  All are welcome.

 

To learn more about us, you can ask any Rotarian, look through our website or follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Yours in Rotary,

Co-Presidents
