>> About Evanston Rotary: Founded in 1920, the Rotary Club of Evanston provides service to the community via hands-on volunteer projects and fundraising to help worthy causes. It has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for not-for-profit organizations, helping Evanston cope with pressing issues ranging from HIV/AIDS and literacy to homelessness and poverty.
The club also provides scholarships, supports international aid projects and maintains the Friendship
Garden in Evanston’s Ladd Arboretum for public use.
Local Rotarians are part of a global network of more than 1 million Rotarians who work together in
providing local, national and international service projects. Since the 1980s, Rotary International has
played a major role as a partner in worldwide polio eradication efforts. The organization’s global
headquarters are in Evanston.
The club’s weekly luncheon meeting is held Thursdays from 12 to 1:15 p.m. at the North Shore Hotel. To learn more about becoming a member, visit www.evanstonrotary.org.
