Helena Rotary Moves to the Montana Club![]() 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 the construction of an ADA-compliant trail on Mount Helena, maintaining a cabin at the YMCA Camp Child, supporting the robotics and after-school programs at Exploration Works, and providing resources to children and classrooms in Helena area public schools. 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 the Montana Club or contact Tony Zammit, Club President: (509) 993-2933. |
