Message from the President

President Paul CrantWelcome to our community!

Rotary is an international humanitarian organization - we are 1.2 million neighbours, friends, and community leaders who come together to create positive, lasting change in our communities and around the world.

The Rotary Club of Charlottetown which was founded in 1917, is the 8th oldest Rotary Club in Canada. It has a proud history of serving the residents of PEI. Every year that this Club is in operation, it is a vehicle for good and positive impact on our Community. We have been proud of the local projects we have supported including over 60 years of improving the lives of children and people with challenges under our Easter Seals PEI program, being a major donor to Camp Gencheff, participation in the joint Rotary Soup Kitchen project, as well as the Rotary International Youth Exchange Program. With recent increase in membership and the successful implementation of our newest fund-raising venture, Rotary Radio Bingo, even more great achievements are within our reach. With this year being our 100th anniversary, we are looking for more Community projects to support. Please support us in our goal of serving the community. I invite you to consider the friendship network of almost 100 like-minded business men and women working together to improve the lives of the people in our communities. With you, we can accomplish so much more. 

Other unique or notable facts about our Club include: most of our dinner meetings are televised on Eastlink Podium TV; we also have our own radio show, Rotary Radio Bingo, on CFCY 95.1FM; as well as a large social media following. We are one of the largest Rotary Clubs in Atlantic Canada. In addition, our Club has a distinguished history of entrepreneurship with at least 9 inductees into the Junior Achievement PEI Business Hall of Fame.

The Rotary Club of Charlottetown meets weekly at The Rodd Charlottetown Hotel, 12:15 to 1:30 pm each Monday. We invite local, visiting Rotarians, as well as future Rotarians to our weekly meetings.

For more information about Rotary locally, regionally, and around the world, please explore our website and feel free to contact any of the Rotarians featured here.

Sincerely, Paul Crant

Welcome new Club Member: Richelle Greathouse

We are so pleased to welcome Richelle Greathouse to our Club. Richelle is the International Student Advisor at the University of Prince Edward Island and she has been instrumental in helping launch our Rotaract Club at UPEI.

Fun fact: Richelle is an avid gardener and can frequently be seen carrying bags of vegetables from her garden at the Farm Centre.

Ribfest PEI
At our meeting on Feb. 26th, our Club voted in favour in principle to do the Ribfest fundraiser.
 
Ribfest PEI is being proposed as a three-day community based, family-oriented event that will be organized by the Rotary Club of Charlottetown. The event will be held July 27-29, 2018 at the Confederation Landing Park. The event will include three Ribbers who are internationally renowned for competing for top awards, a fries and lemonade vendor, a group of local businesses that will participate in an on-site Vendor's Village, a children's play zone, a beverage tent, a beer tent and an entertainment stage which will feature entertainment for all ages.
 
Ribfest PEI revenue will allow Rotary to operate and continue its Community and International Projects in support of Youth, Seniors, Health, Education and Peace.
 
Please note that at this point much work on this has been done including a Logo, Sponsorship Package, and website. We will begin calling potential Sponsors over the next couple of weeks. However, many details still need to be decided.
 
We are partnering on this event with the Rotary Club of Hillsborough.
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
SHAD Program
At the April 23rd meeting we had Kaaren May Phd Director of Industry research at UPEI's School of Sustainable Design Engineering spoke about the SHAD program.  SHAD's mission is to empower exceptional youth to make the world a better place. Every July, about 900 of Canada’s best and brightest come together to experience SHAD’s unique experiential-learning program - rooted in the STEAM disciplines of science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics – while gaining self-confidence, entrepreneurial and workforce skills, internship opportunities, and a network for life. SHAD Fellows are Change Makers for Canada here at home and around the world. There is a chapter of SHAD at UPEI for those willing to get involved.
