Welcome to the Rotary Club of Concord website. Our club consists of over 60 service oriented individuals dedicated to improving the Concord community.  I am humbled to serve as Club President over the course of the next year.

I have long known about Concord Rotary from work colleagues; however, for many years family and work obligations hindered my ability to join Rotary.  Now that my children are grown and flown, my schedule has greater flexibility and I gain greater appreciation for the work of Rotarians with each passing year.  Since joining the Rotary Club of Concord in 2012, I am blessed to meet and work with so many Rotary colleagues committed to the improvement and well-being of the Concord community.  Even with the restrictions arising from the COVID pandemic, my Rotarian colleagues continually reflect Rotary’s motto of “Service Above Self.”  We continue to engage in community service projects (with appropriate precautions), fund youth scholarships and provide financial support to a wide array of worthy local organizations.  Our outreach is remarkable.  While our in-person meetings are temporarily on hold, we nevertheless meet weekly through ZOOM.  We will resume the traditional method of doing business as soon as prudence and common sense dictate.

 

In addition to the tremendous support that our club gives back the community, the Rotary Foundation under the auspices of Rotary International provides local and global grants to enable Rotarians worldwide to lead efforts to advance world understanding, goodwill and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.  Although many know Rotary for its hallmark mission to eradicate polio (an ongoing and critically important effort) Rotary is much more than this.  Rotary opens opportunities.  Come join us and discover the magic of Rotary.  You can make a difference in our community and the world!
