Welcome to Port Townsend Rotary Club

Those of us who live and work in Port Townsend enjoy a community that’s blessed by natural beauty and filled with dedicated and fascinating people.  We are fortunate and believe that our good fortune should be shared.  Rotary provides us that opportunity.

“Rotary Shares” is our international theme this year – one we fully embrace here in Port Townsend.  We have 85 members who share their time, talent and financial resources on projects that enhance our community and our world.  Guiding all our work is “Service Above Self” and the principles of The Rotary Four-Way Test

To give just a few examples of how we share -- we contribute to programs like the Jumping Mouse Children’s Center, where amazing work is being done to give at-risk kids a chance for a healthy life – and to the JC MASH free clinic, which is providing healthcare to people who need a helping hand.  We value, too, the opportunity to share our resources with our community’s youth – our future leaders – through scholarships, foreign exchange programs and Interact. 

Community Projects
Funding Request - Funding Guidelines

 

Our Club also has reached out to aid people in Bay St. Louis who were devastated by Hurricane Katrina.  Through a multi-year commitment of money and volunteer labor, we helped rebuild a pre-school with a modern kitchen that provides a safe, nurturing environment for young children.  We are proud to be part of making this community dream a reality – a dream we shared with Rotarians in Bay St. Louis. 

Reaching even further, our Club is actively pursuing a humanitarian project in Guatemala.  We are coordinating with Rotarians in Guatemala City on a construction project that will bring clean water to many families in the community of Batzaja. The dollars that our club contributes are multiplied by a grant from our Rotary District and further multiplied by a grant from the Rotary International Foundation.  In addition to this financial support, Club members are traveling to Batzaja to lend their hands in building the system.

When our work is done, we enjoy fellowship, too.  Our fundraisers bring us together to celebrate Rotary, have fun and give others the opportunity to support the community through their donations.  We hold an annual charity Auction in the spring, a Jamboree that focuses on young people in the fall, and a wreath sale during the holiday season. 

If you are a Rotarian from another area, we welcome you to join us for lunch on Tuesdays at the Fort Worden Commons.  If you live here and are interested in becoming part of this vibrant Club, call me at 385-9517.  To find out more about Port Townsend Rotary, please page through our web site.  I believe you’ll be pretty impressed with what a group of people can accomplish when the spirit of Rotary unites them, and when they are guided by “Rotary Shares.”
