We are the Mad River Valley Rotary Club with over 60 members. We are your neighbors, friends, and business acquaintances. We are young, old, women and men who love this Valley and who volunteer our time to make it an even better place to live.
As a chapter of Rotary International, we aspire to make a difference right here in the Mad River Valley and beyond. Our commitment is to community service, building friendships, and developing leaders. Our international exchange program cultivates understanding beyond Vermont and is a life changing experience for those who participate.
Through fundraisers, raffles and community events we support local organizations and global projects providing a broad range of services, from assistance for those in need, to arts and culture.
We invite you to attend one of our meetings to learn more about Rotary and how you can help the community in which we live. Please use the link below for our calendar.
As we enter November and approach Thanksgiving, it's a good time to reflect on the many things for which we are grateful. For me, that includes each of you and the time, talents, and generosity you bring to our Rotary club. Whether you are organizing an event, serving on a committee, supporting a community project, or simply helping welcome a guest to one of our meetings, your contributions make a difference. Thank you for all you do!
Join 80 volunteers from Waterbury and the Mad River Valley at Harwood Union High School to package meals to be delivered to school feeding programs in developing countries through Rise Against Hunger, a nonprofit growing a global movement to end hunger by empowering communities, nourishing lives and responding to emergencies. August was a productive month for our club, with an excellent group of speakers and plenty happening beyond our regular meetings.
We heard from fellow Rotarians Pete Colgan and Sparky Potter, on their reflections. We also had a visit from Misha Golfman, who shared an update on the merger of the Mad River Path and Mad River Riders. Finally, we had the opportunity to hear from Silas Gulley, our MRV Rotary Exchange Student to Ecuador before he left for the year abroad. Thank you to all of our speakers for taking the time to join us and share their experiences and work.
