Rotary Club Social at VNCC for Prospective Members
Ever heard of South Burlington Rotary Club? Rotary International?
 
The South Burlington Rotary Club is a volunteer led group of like-minded individuals working together to help others both locally and globally and we have been a part of the South Burlington community for over 40 years! Last year alone we donated over $50,000 to charities like the South Burlington Food Shelf, Howard Center, Josh’s House and more. And this month, we gave dictionaries to all the third-grade students in South Burlington’s elementary schools – which we have been doing for over 20 years!
 
As part of our outreach to help community members learn more about our Rotary Club, we are hosting an Evening Membership Social on Thursday October 29 from 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m at the Vermont National Country Club. You will meet our members and some non-profit leaders that we support. It is a great opportunity to ask questions about what we do and hear testimonials from a few of our newer members as to what motivated them to join our club.
 
There will be refreshments and a cash bar. If you have any questions or to RSVP, please email our general mailbox: southburlingtonrotaryclub@gmail.com
 
Hope to see you there!

Rotary celebrates Police
For the 19th year in a row the South Burlington Rotary Club sponsored the South Burlington Police Department awards ceremony, held at OnLogic in South Burlington.  These men and women do a phenomenal job keeping our community safe and they deserve our recognition.  In attendance for the club included John Buechler, Rich Berger (organizer), Mike Keller, Penne Tompkins (co-president), William Breault (Chief of Police), John Wilkins, and Sergio Jones (Tom O'Keefe missed the picture).  Keep up the good work.
