Picton Rotary

Picton Rotary Rotary Club of Picton meets every Tuesday at 12noon at Prince Edward Yacht Club Over the years, the club has grown to its present size of about fifty members.

The Rotary Club of Picton was chartered on June 7, 1943 by a group of dedicated individuals who decided to try to find ways of helping the world in the midst of the Second World War. Fellowship, fundraising, and the pursuit of the Four Way Test remains the foundation of the Rotary Club of Picton in all its activities. Supporting the needs of people locally and around the world is the reason that w

e have several fundraising events during each year. Fundraising events include the Waterfall tour (Easter weekend), Lilac Ride (May), Golf Tournament (Aug), Ukraine Event (Oct), Wall of Wine Raffle (Nov), and our Cash Calendar sales (Nov-Dec). The club distributes funds to worthy projects in both local and worldwide communities. Donations and support for local projects/organizations include Back the Build, Rotary Woods Walkway (Macauley Conservation Area), Regent Theatre, ROC, and Reaching for Rainbows - to name just a few. International projects include water and sanitation projects, vaccination to eradicate polio, shelter following natural disasters (ShelterBox), and improving access to education, medicine, and healthcare in vulnerable communities. Membership in the Rotary Club of Picton is open to people who will uphold the ideals of Rotary and live by the Four Way Test. Please contact any Rotarian or email [email protected] if you are interested in joining. We hold weekly "hybrid" meetings every Tuesday with the option to participate either by Zoom and in-person at the Prince Edward Yacht Club (PEYC), 30 Fairfield Street in Picton, Ontario Canada. Meetings are from 12 - 1 pm. Please contact us prior to travelling to the PEYC to be sure that we're meeting that week. Information about the weekly meetings is also on our website at www.pictonrotary.ca

We encourage you to support our fundraising events in order to help us help others as we enact our motto 'Service Above Self'.

Rick Jones, a vital part of our Membership Committee, has lots to say about being a member of Rotary. In addition to the message below, Rick goes on to say:
What I appreciate most about the Rotary Club of Picton is that our service is real and tangible. Whether we are raising funds for local causes, supporting youth, helping community organizations, taking part in community projects, or contributing to international initiatives, I know that our efforts can make a difference. That long-standing commitment to “Service Above Self” is something I am proud to be part of.
But Rotary is also about people. I have met wonderful people through this club as well as internationally, built friendships, shared some great laughs, and learned from people who care deeply about Prince Edward County and about helping others.
Being a Rotarian reminds me that none of us has to change the whole world on our own. When a group of people come together with a common purpose, even small contributions of time, energy, and generosity can have a lasting impact.
For me, the Rotary Club of Picton represents community, friendship, service and giving back. I am proud to be a member, proud of what our club has accomplished over the years, and excited about what we can continue to accomplish together.
