Rotary International celebrated 100 years of service in 2005.
The Wallingford Rotary club was started in 1928 and has been active in our community ever since.
The Lobster Bake is our main fundraiser for the projects and service that we provide.
Our Club sponsors an annual motorcycle ride on October 1, 2011
to benefit
local projects and the end of polio in the world.
Every year we give monetary awards to deserving graduating students from Mill River Union High School.
Wallingford Rotary is a supporter of the annual Wallingford Bike Safety Day along with GE Volunteers, numerous local organizations and members of the community every May. Boys and girls are fitted with helmets and are given instructions about safety on the road.
We have been involved in student exchange programs since 1981. We send one to three students to another country for a year to experience another culture, attend high school and to be a good will ambassador for our country. Julia Huessy
is our ambassador to Chile. Grigor arrived from Croatia and is
living with local families for the year and attends Mill River Union HS.
Every Christmas holiday, our club joins with the National Honor Society of Mill River Union HS. to give
turkeys to families who might be struggling.
The Wallingford Rotary Club donates its building to other local non profit organizations. The Wallingford Little League uses the building for sign up day and we invite volunteers for Vermont
Green Up Day. Group Study Exchange is a program where three to four adult professional people receive the chance to visit another country for four weeks. They live with host families and exchange ideas.
