A Message from the Club President

Thank you for visiting the Newark Rotary Club website.  Our Club has a long tradition of serving not only the community here in Newark but also those in need around the world.  This year the Newark Rotary Club will have three major fundraising events.  As in previous years we will be staffing the parking at the Wachovia Bank on South College Ave. during all of the University of Delaware home football games.  If you are driving to the game, park with us and know that you are helping the community while you enjoy the watching one of the finest Division 1AA football teams.  We will also continue with our annual Golf tournament.  If you would like to play in the tournament or participate as a sponsor send us a message from the contact us page.  Our third fundraiser this year is brand new.  The Newark Rotary Club will be offering coupon books with special and exclusive discounts to the stores and restaurants right here in Newark.  This is a one-of-kind book because every coupon is local and all of the proceeds generated go toward helping the club fulfill service projects both locally and abroad.

The Newark Rotary Club uses the money generated from its fundraising activities to support local and international projects. Last year we awarded $12,000 in college scholarships to local high school students, helped provide the funding to build a well in Kenya, served hundreds of hot meals to those in need at the Hope Dining Hall, sponsored a renovation of the Iron Hill History Museum and participated in and contributed to many other local charities including Val’s Needy Families Fund and Easter Seals Camp Fairlee. If you are interested in supporting our efforts in the community or would like information about becoming a Rotarian please contact us.

                                                                                    Thank You,

                                                                                    Frank C. Mayer III
