Rotary Club of New York

WHAT IS THE ROTARY CLUB OF NEW YORK?

Established in 1909, The Rotary Club of New York provides Civic- minded business and professional men and women with an enjoyable and organized way to make a contribution to our city and to needy areas of the world. We meet weekly and plan club, community, and international service activities. By using our skills and expertise, members also enhance their professional network, career development, and cross-cultural understanding. All Rotary Clubs are nonreligious, nongovernmental, and open to every race, culture, and creed. Our membership represents a cross section of local civic-minded business and professional leaders.

THE NEW YORK ROTARY FOUNDATION supports more than two dozen organizations which have included the Salvation Army, YM-YWCA, Boy Scouts, Columbia Presbyterian MedicalCenter, Madison Square Boys and Girls Club, Saint Agnes Soup Kitchen, Horizon Concerts, National Association for Visually Handicapped, Police and Firemen's Recognition Day and Polio Plus.

New York Rotary's "SERVICE ABOVE SELF" awards program honors members who excel in community work.
