Welcome to the Hartford Rotary Club

We are a group of individuals who are dedicated to serving our local community through various volunteer projects and initiatives. Our members come from diverse backgrounds, but we share a common goal of making a positive impact in Hartford and beyond.
 
As a part of Rotary International, our club is committed to promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water and sanitation, supporting education, and growing local economies. We work together to achieve these goals through fundraising events, volunteer projects, and partnerships with local organizations.

Hartford Rotary and Volunteers for a Beautiful Hartford Bring New Lighting to Rotary Park

 

The Hartford Rotary Club and Volunteers for a Beautiful Hartford have joined forces to bring a new and exciting look to Hartford’s Rotary Park.

Members of both organizations recently gathered for the official lighting of the park, celebrating the completion of a project designed to enhance one of Hartford’s most visible community spaces.

Located at the gateway to Hartford’s downtown area, Rotary Park and its gazebo are enjoyed by residents and visitors throughout the year. The new lighting will add beauty, security and a sense of serenity to the area, creating an inviting space for the community to enjoy, especially during the evening hours.

The project is a valued gift to the Hartford community and is an excellent example of how local organizations can work together to enhance Hartford and create inviting spaces for residents, businesses and visitors.

The Hartford Rotary Club and Volunteers for a Beautiful Hartford are proud to partner on projects that contribute to the beauty, vitality and quality of life in the Hartford community.

Rotary Clubs throughout America’s Heartland — from the Canadian border to the Mexican border — will be coming together at the same time to create the World’s Largest Polio Walk!

🌎 36,620 Rotarians

This is more than a walk. It’s a movement.

Every step we take helps raise awareness and funds to protect children from this devastating disease. 💜

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.
