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. Our Rotary club has sponsored exchange students for yearly studies abroad and we have welcomed students from many countries to live and study here.
Every year we give monetary awards to deserving graduating students from Mill River Union High School.
Wallingford Rotary sponsors the annual bike safety day every May. Boys and girls are fitted with helmets and are given instructions about safety on the road. They are encouraged to be involved in the safety tests.
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. We also receive students who live with local families for the year and attend Mill River Union HS.
Every Christmas holiday, our club joins with the National Honor Society of Mill River Union HS. to give gifts to the children of families who might be struggling.
This year, our club of twenty donated 54 gifts for children to the National Honor Society.
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 geen 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.
