Rotary is an international service organization of 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders and problem solvers working to make our communities and the world a better place. We’re a group of local professionals & residents that meet weekly to build a stronger Hastings community through the strong principles of Rotary International. Our diverse membership includes those from local businesses, government, education, healthcare, media and nonprofits among other organizations. A few of our other activities of significant local impact by the club include:
*Raised in excess of $500,000 to build this beautiful pavilion(pictured on our cover page) as the foundation to the Hastings riverfront redevelopment.
*Refurbished the Vermillion Falls river bridge and adopted the bike path system throughout Hastings and provides all of the signage.
