In the year where “Rotary Opens Opportunities,” the Rotary Club of Utica is pledged to service in the best traditions of Rotary—providing its members with opportunities for fellowship, network and participation in community service projects. During our lunch programs we hear from the area’s community and business leaders on the many initiatives and work happening in the Greater Utica community. Our service projects and commitments range widely, and we sponsor events and causes leveraging our service fund and the passion and dedication of our members. Through our committees we offer Youth Exchange and Internship programs, Community Recognition Award programs, and volunteer opportunities through our Social Justice and Urban Concerns efforts. We believe the ideas of Rotary founded on friendship and service above self are as important today as ever before, and they require the involvement of individuals committed to the betterment of each other and the community. Come visit and learn of the opportunities Rotary can offer you!
