About Us

             The great humanitarian Albert Schweitzer said, “Even if it’s a little thing, do something for those who have need of a man’s help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it.  For, remember, you don’t live in a world all your own.  Your brothers are here too.” Service is indeed a privilege in which we Rotarians are grateful to take part. Here at the Rotary Club of Westchester, service to others is our life blood.

 
               You may have seen the Rotary wheel logo on a city sign post or had an old relative that used to be in a Rotary club. But what exactly is Rotary? Simply put- Rotary is service to others. Here at the Rotary Club of Westchester, service is what defines us. We change the lives of others in need. The Rotary Club of Westchester is not your grandfather’s Rotary club. We are a dynamic, passionate group of friends and colleagues who roll up our sleeves and get to work!
 
               Locally, the Rotary Club of Westchester has been making an impact since 1950. We support many groups in the neighborhood, including the YMCA Youth and Government program, SPY (Safe Place for Youth), the Westchester Senior Center, and our local schools and universities. Since 2006, our touchstone project has been the bi-annual “Extreme Home Makeover Project.” During a long weekend, our Rotarians partner with the community to completely renovate the property of a family or organization in need. Through our Makeover Project, we’ve made life a little easier for local families, the Westchester Senior Center, Safe Place For Youth, the Westchester Townhouse youth clubhouse, and in 2021, the Emerson Avenue Community Garden. 
 
               Our club is also dedicated to making a difference abroad. Did you know that Rotary International is working to eradicate polio? When we complete this mission, polio will become the second disease ever eradicated from the earth. Our campaign, “End Polio Now”, is dedicated to immunizing and wiping out this crippling disease. With our partnership with the Bill and Melinda Gate Foundation and the World Health Organization, we are close to the eradication finish line. Our club is also focused on several international projects, including the sponsorship of an orphanage in Thailand, clean water projects in Africa, and most recently, a humanitarian trip to Oaxaca, Mexico.
 
               The Rotary club of Westchester is an inclusive, fun-loving group of community leaders dedicated to making a difference. We came to the club for service and we stay for the friendship. We are truly honored to serve here in Westchester. On behalf of the Rotary Club of Westchester, thank you for your support, trust and partnership!
