Local Impact Global Reach

Taking Care of Rotary—Locally and Globally

At the Erie Colorado Rotary Club, we believe taking care of our club also means taking care of the bigger picture. That’s why we don’t just engage at the local level—we stay connected to the global network that makes Rotary unlike any other service organization on Earth.

We’re part of something much larger, and that gives our service lasting reach.

What It Means to Care for the Club

When we say we “take care of our club,” we’re not just talking showing up for meetings and service projects—we mean every member plays a part in making this a club worth belonging to.

  • Showing up with purpose
  • Participating in projects and fundraisers
  • Volunteering for leadership roles
  • Giving feedback, mentoring others, and helping new members thrive
  • Bringing new energy, new ideas, and new members into the fold
  • Caring for the club means we build something stronger than ourselves—something future generations can grow into.

We connect to Rotary’s global mission through the Rotary Foundation, Polio eradication, and more.

Rotary is not just our regular meeting—it’s a worldwide movement. And we take pride in being part of it. We contribute our time, talent, and resources to:

  • The Rotary Foundation
    • Our members donate to fund global grants that fight poverty, support education, improve health, and grow peace.
    • Every dollar given is an investment in sustainable, high-impact projects around the world—and often, right back here at home.
  • The Fight to End Polio
    • Rotary is the driving force behind the largest public health campaign in history.
    • Erie Rotarians contribute to eradication efforts that have driven polio cases down by 99.9%—with just a few pockets left to go.
    • Every member has a role to play in ending this disease forever.

Why It Matters

When we engage with Rotary at the global level, it reminds us that service doesn’t stop at city limits. We are community builders in Erie—but we’re also peacemakers, problem-solvers, and partners in global progress.

You don’t have to be a world traveler to have a global impact.
You just have to be a Rotarian.
