Our President Welcomes You to Rotary

The main objective of Rotary is service — in the community, the workplace, and throughout the world.  Rotarians foster and encourage the ideal of "service above self" through the betterment of business and professional ethics, promote international understanding and goodwill, and provide humanitarian service.

Rotary International has a decentralized structure, with local clubs that are autonomous and community-based.  Each service club works to improve the quality of life at home and around the world.

Rotary members have the collective expertise and skills to implement dynamic and sustainable programs in the areas of hunger, poverty, and illiteracy, with particular emphasis on children, the aging, and the disabled.

We would love to have you join us on this mission of hope and faith in the human condition.  This message is your open invitation to attend any of our Tuesday luncheons.  It’s fun and inspirational.  You’ll never know you may find your life changed forever, just as mine has. --Kent Renier

And then there's our District 5970 Website
The Membership Roster is Online!
We are testing a new format for our membership listing. Normally a printed membership book would cost the club several hundred dollars. With an online listing, the content never becomes obsolete because it can continually be updated. Members can print the list from their home computer if they want a hard copy. Give it a look.

gSam Yamoah returned from his trip to Africa, and he brought back a splendid banner to add to our collection. It gives one pause when you gaze upon this and the hundreds of banners from around the world. Leaders joined by a common goal of improving one's community and the world for the greater good. At left, Sam poses with a laminated copy of the Telegraph Herald front page on which Sam appeared in an article about his participation in community service activities.

Rotary Community & Human Development Committee

The Community & Human Development Committee of the Rotary Club of Dubuque (CHDC) grant financial gifts to nonprofit organizations that represent the common interests of Rotary International: Service Above Self. The committee accepts grant applications annually from October 1st through November 15th.

There are two requirements upon receiving a grant from the CHDC:

  • A representative of the receiving organization must be willing to attend a weekly meeting to accept the grant check.
  • The organization must schedule a presentation to inform the Rotary club membership about what the organization does and how it benefits the communities it serves.

If your organization is interested in applying for a grant, please click the following link: Application, complete the online grant application, and the application will be forwarded to the committee. All applications must be received between October 1st and November 15th. Only those applications that are complete and submitted between October 1st and November 15th will be eligible for a grant.
