Change for Polio +

 

Turn those "forgotten" coins into a lifetime of change! 🌍💉

Did you know that the Erie Rotary Club is collecting leftover foreign currency to help end Polio forever? Whether it’s a few Euros from a summer vacation, Yen from a business trip, or Pesos from a getaway years ago—those coins sitting in your junk drawer have the power to save lives.

How about those pesky pennies?  You got em?  We'll take em!

Through our partnership with Rotary International and the Gates Foundation, every dollar we raise is maximized to provide life-saving vaccines to children around the world.

District Governor Visit - Engagement is the word

We were honored to welcome Cindy Rold, District Governor for Rotary District 5450, to our Rotary Club at our December meeting. Cindy brought energy, warmth, and a deeply personal message that resonated with every member in the room.

Through personal stories and examples of inspiring service projects from across the district, she reminded us of the many ways Rotary creates meaningful change. Her visit went beyond sharing updates—she encouraged thoughtful conversation about how we can strengthen our clubs by ensuring every member feels seen, valued, and heard.

Cindy’s message reaffirmed our shared commitment to service, connection, and leadership, leaving us inspired and energized as we continue our work in the community.

Erie Rotary donates to HomeAhead

HomeAhead: Helping Turn Empty Spaces into Homes

In July, Erie Rotary Club member Lew Miller proudly presented a $350 check to HomeAhead, a local nonprofit working to furnish homes—and restore dignity—for individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness.

“Our contribution helps make a difference in people’s lives in the communities where we live,” 

Founded in 2021, HomeAhead has already made a remarkable impact. With the recent expansion of the boulder warehouse to a new warehouse locations—in Longmont—the organization is scaling up its mission to ensure that when someone receives housing, they don’t move into an empty room, but a real home with real furnishings.

A New Rotary Year Begins — With Vision and Purpose

 

Each year on July 1st, Rotary clubs around the world begin a new chapter—and so do we here at Erie Rotary. This marks the traditional changing of the guard, when we thank our outgoing leadership and induct a new club president to guide us forward.

As we welcome new leadership, we’re also coming together to map out a shared Vision for the next three years of Erie Rotary. Not just a list of goals—but a real game plan, built by all of us, for the future we want to create.  We would love your ideas.
