For Immediate Release
The Rotary Club of Helena invites new and existing members to join us for lunch every Wednesday at noon in our new meeting location at Downstairs at the Brewhouse, 939 Getchell St. Our first meeting at the Brewhouse will be February 5th.
Rotary is a global network of 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who come together to make positive, lasting change in communities at home and abroad. Our motto is “Service Above Self.”
For over one-hundred years, the Rotary Club of Helena has led service projects for our community. Some of their current projects include maintaining a cabin at the YMCA Camp Child, supporting the robotics and after-school programs at Exploration Works, providing resources to children and classrooms in Helena area public schools, and (new this spring) has proposed and working to build an ADA compliant trail on Mount Helena. We also offer an annual scholarship to college-bound high students from our community. At meetings, members share news about completed and upcoming service opportunities and each week features a new and interesting speaker.
For more information, join us for lunch any Wednesday at noon at Downstairs at the Brew House or contact Brett Clark, Club President: (406) 457-2044 or Rex Walsh, Membership Chair: (406)4 31-6484 rexwalsh2018@gmail.com.
