Description

What would it take to change the world? Rotary's 1.2 million members believe it starts with a commitment to Service Above Self. In more than 34,000 clubs worldwide, you'll find members volunteering in communities at home and abroad to support education and job training, provide clean water, combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, and eradicate polio. The Rotary Club of Oakville-Trafalgar (RCOT) was chartered in 1978. It carries out projects both locally and internationally to help realize Rotary's humanitarian goals. The club meets once a week on Thursdays at noon (except on statutory holidays). Each meeting includes a business aspect, fellowship, lunch and a speaker. Most club members serve on various committees. Our Community Service committee considers local humanitarian projects. Our International committee seeks out and considers projects from around the world. Others work with Youth & Vocational, Foundation, Club Services, Membership, Communication and Fundraising committees. Club members are involved in groups called PODs, which make arrangements for our weekly program speakers and participate in the running of meetings on a rotating basis. The club helps with the development of our community's youth through programs such as Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, Camp Enterprise, Interact, bursary programs, and support of the Oakville Youth Development Centre. Club members are also encourage to make contributions to the Rotary Foundation. Funds contributed by our members to the Rotary Foundation can be returned to support the club's projects in the form of matching grants. Our club's major fundraisers include the Oakville Dragon Boat Festival, Roses for Thanksgiving, an Internet Auction, and various other activities throughout each year.
