Rotary Club Celebrates 3rd Anniversary

The Rotary Club of Westfield met tonight at Keltie's Restaurant to celebrate it's 3rd Anniversary.

For such a young club, we have accomplished a great deal.  I'll name just a few:

  • named  the 2010 Outstanding Service Organization by the Westfield Chamber of Commerce
  • received Rotary International's Significant Achievement Award for 2010-2011
  • received both the Presidential and Governor's Citation in 2010-2011

This year alone we have:

  • hosted a Youth Exchange Student from Spain
  • sponsored an out-bound Youth Exchange Student
  • continued adding to the Sensory Gardens at Freedom Trail Park
  • worked on sending an R-Tractor to Haiti
  • provided volunteers for Hamilton County Meals on Wheels
  • assisted the Open Doors Food Pantry
  • volunteered at the Midwest Food Bank
  • participated in the Westfield Farmers Market, Westfield Rocks the 4th, Westfield In Lights, and the Grand Junction Derby

Although we sometimes don't quite believe it, many visiting Rotarians have told us that in our club's infancy, we have accomplished more than many veteran clubs have in ten years.

If you'd like to be more involved in local or international community service, please come visit us at the Bridgewater Club every Tuesday at noon.  We'd love to see you there.  You can also visit our website at www.westfieldrotary.net.
