Many individuals who joined Rotary were afraid to speak in public. Rotary develops confidence and skill in public communication and the opportunity to practice and perfect these skills.

Officer McClellanTown of Groton Police Department and Chase the wonder dog came to talk about the amazing work of the Groton Police Service Dogs - a program which supports victims, families, first responders, special needs individuals and others. You may have met some of these wonderful furry friends at this summer. Let’s continue to support this amazing work.

Rotary is fun, a lot of fun. Each meeting is fun. The club projects are fun. Social activities are fun. Serving others is fun.

At Rotary there are programs designed to stay informed about the community, nation, and world. Each meeting provides an opportunity to listen to different speakers and a variety of timely topics.

Membership in a Rotary club makes one a better community citizen.
