 Founded in 1918, Rotary
Club of Lynn meets every Thursday at The Porthole Restaurant.
Lynn Rotary is part of a worldwide
organization of business and professional leaders that provides
humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all
vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world.
Approximately 1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than 32,000
Rotary clubs located in 166 countries. The world's first service
organization, Rotary International has a long history of helping those in need.
The main objective of Rotary is
service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the
world. Rotarians develop community service projects that
address many of today's most critical issues, such as children
at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, illiteracy, and
violence. They also support programs for youth, educational
opportunities and international exchanges for students, teachers,
and other professionals, and vocational and career development. The
Rotary motto is Service Above Self.
Lynn Rotary is involved in
many community service projects throughout the year, including
ringing the bell for the Salvation Army during the holiday
season, Camp Rotary, and The J. Fergus Gifford Shoe and
Stocking Fund,
Camp Rotary is the longest, continually
running project of any Rotary Club in the world! Founded in 1921,
Camp has been in continuous operation since that time except for a
short period during World War II.

If you are new to the area, please stop
by for lunch at the Porthole restaurant, Thursday, 12:15, we'd
love to meet you.
