Why Rotary ?
The Albemarle County Rotary Club is one of over 30,000 clubs worldwide. Our Club is a diverse group of people from a variety of professions – nonprofits, business and education. Not everyone is an accountant.
All of our members are committed to giving back and doing good things for others. Each year, we award scholarships totaling between $15,000 – $20,000 to students continuing their education and to adults who need training to get a job. We have been involved in international projects to provide clean water in Africa, provided Shelter Boxes to areas affected by natural disasters, and supported Polio Plus in an effort to rid the world of polio.
We hold meetings twice a month on the first and third Thursday of the month. We host engaging presentations in which we learn about new developments in our community and the world. Join us at the Greencroft Club to meet an outstanding group of people.
