MESSAGE FROM OUR CLUB PRESIDENT

The Rotary Club of Greater Huntsville (RCGH) welcomes you.  Chartered in 1990, our Club is rich with history yet eager for a promising future.  By embracing the direction of our Rotary International President, Sakuji Tanaka, we will continue to actively work for Peace Through Service. President Tanaka has said, “When we see the needs of others as more important than our own needs – when we focus on a shared goal that is for the good of all – this changes everything.  It changes how we relate to the world.  It changes priorities.  And it changes how we understand the idea of peace.”  In the name of Rotary, we strive for peace in our community and throughout the world, actively embracing the Rotary motto, “Service Above Self”.

We support the Rotary International Five Avenues of Service.  Our primary local support is through our own Rotary Educational Assistance Program (REAP) managed by the RCGH Foundation. Resources generated by RCGH activities support REAP.  We also actively support CASA with their wheelchair ramp and home winterization efforts, support the Alabama Science Fair, the BBB Torch Awards and periodically assist with other local non-profits (through active participation and donations).  A Future Vision Club, the primary focus for our international efforts is for the country of Uganda. Efforts have included developing and implementing sustainable systems to provide safe drinking water, educational assistance, providing books and more.  With the New Generations Avenue of Service, we sponsored and remain involved with the Rotaract Club of Huntsville.  Additionally, we support the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) through planning, participation at the event and sponsorship of local youth to attend.

To learn more about our Club I encourage you to explore our web site. You will find we enthusiastically support the principals of Rotary. We value the diversity of our membership, the professions, ages, cultural backgrounds and more.  Not only do we meet weekly, but we also enjoy events outside our regular meetings.  Rotary is more than a service club, it is a way of life. As we adjourn our meetings each week, we proclaim our commitment through the Rotary Four Way Test, of all the things we Think, Say or Do:

1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? 

Yours in Rotary,

Mary Grace Evans

President

ROTARY CIRCLE SOCIETY PROJECT
 

The Rotary Club of Greater Huntsville erected a classic Rotary clock within the grassed center of the roundabout circle at the Monroe Street entrance to downtown Huntsville.  The clock is a prominent sign to countless residents and visitors that Rotary is making significant contributions to our Huntsville community and the world at large.  The Society consists of four contribution/recognition levels – one involving the purchase of commemorative bricks and the other three involving contributions of $1,000+ and recognition on plaques around the circle.
