Over the past century, the Hartford Rotary Club has contributed to numerous landmarks and imitates that have enhanced the quality of life for residents. From the construction of Centennial Park to the creation of the Rotary Park Gazebo and the preservation of the Chandelier Ballroom, the club's impact is visible throughout the city.

However, the impact of the Hartford Rotary Club extends far beyond physical landmarks. Through initiatives such as student scholarships, hosting foreign exchange students, teacher of the year award, VISION House and supporting community organizations like the Schauer Arts Center, the club has continuously enriched the lives of residents.

Internationally, Hartford Rotary's efforts have been equally significant. Members have traveled to Guatemala and Haiti to provide clean water systems, medical support, and aid in the global fight against polio.

As we celebrate our centennial anniversary, we are humbled by the opportunity to serve this wonderful community for the past 100 years. None of our accomplishments would have been possible without the dedication and generosity of our members and supporters.

In celebration of its 100th Anniversary, the Hartford Rotary Club is
proud to announce the unveiling of a special gift to the community: a state-of-the-art fishing pier located within Rotary Park.

Designed with inclusivity in mind, the newly constructed fishing pier is ADA-compliant, featuring paved pathways for easy access and thoughtful amenities such as pole holders and protective railings. The water in the area was dredged in 2022, ensuring a depth of approximately 12 feet at the end of the pier, providing ample opportunities for anglers of all skill levels to enjoy their favorite pastime.

The new fishing pier stands as a testament to the Hartford Rotary Club's commitment to enhancing the quality of life for residents and visitors alike. It is a symbol of the club's enduring legacy of service and its ongoing dedication to making Hartford a vibrant and inclusive community.
