Welcome to the Glens Falls Rotary! We are so delighted that you have found us. The people of Rotary are active, helpful, compassionate and fun.

We celebrated our 100^th Anniversary as a Rotary Club on October 1, 2022, with an event in downtown Glens Falls.  A day of pride for all Rotarians.

All of our Glens Falls Rotary Club members work to represent the highest ideals through its service-oriented programs both at home and abroad. Our club meets on the first and third Thursday at twelve noon, at the Queensbury Hotel, 88 Ridge Street in downtown Glens Falls, and offers our members and guests the high level of community engagement.

 

Our club is incredibly active in community service in our local communities as well as projects around the globe.

 

We have been active for many years in the Youth Exchange Program in which we host incoming high school students from foreign lands and sponsor outbound students from our area who represent our club and district via residence in countries around the globe. Visit our Youth Exchange area here in our site to learn more about the students we are sponsoring this year. Also, we provide a Community Service Scholarship to be given annually to deserving senior graduates in the communities of Glens Falls and Queensbury. To learn more or to apply, go to the Scholarships page in the Our Projects area.  We have run the “Warm the Children” program for over 31 years.  Warm the Children is a cooperative effort of The Post-Star, the Salvation Army and The Rotary Club of Glens Falls providing new winter clothing for the children of less fortunate families.  100% of all donations are used to purchase new clothing.  There are no administrative fees. We also run an annual 5k which supports non-profits in our area – each year we strive to make this a fun, engaging community event. In addition, we support children's literacy programs throughout Warren, Washington, and Saratoga Counties. A few years ago, we partnered with the Ben Osborn Memorial Fund to manage 30+ children's libraries in communities throughout the area. Our club members volunteer to stock these libraries regularly tomake sure children have accessibility to age appropriate, quality reading material. We also give away thousands of books each year for free at various public events to support children's learning. Please visit our the Our Projects pages to find information and sources of help to learn more.

We are also very proud of the work that is being done by our members to help save children’s lives in developing countries. In the past several years, our club has raised over $200,000 and invested also with human resources to assist the people of Honduras and Haiti bring clean water to the families of these countries. If you would like to help or seek more information on this humanitarian effort, please visit our Our Projects section to learn more.

   

To join your own energy with the goodwill of the 1.4 million Rotary members around the globe, join the club, lend a hand on one of our service projects, or donate to one of the causes we support.
