Message from the President

Welcome to the Rotary Club of Charlottetown. Rotary is an international service organization - we are 1.2 million members who come together to create positive, lasting change in our communities and around the world. An example is the 1985 launch of our PolioPlus program; the first initiative to tackle global Polio eradication. Since that time and with the help of our partners like the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, we have helped reduce polio cases by 99.9% worldwide.

The Rotary Club of Charlottetown, founded on October 1, 1917, was the 8th Rotary Club chartered in Canada. We are 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. 

We are the home of Rotary Radio Bingo, airing every Tuesday from 7-8 PM on CFCY 95.1 FM. With the success of this fundraiser, we've been able to support projects across the Island including volunteering with the Prince Street School and St. Jean School breakfast programs, the Upper Room, and the implementation of a Dialysis Transportation Program to help low income dialysis patients.

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.

Proudly serving the community as a Rotarian,

Corinne Hendricken-Eldershaw, President
Rotary Club of Charlottetown (2022-2023)

Rotary Club of Charlottetown Soup Kitchen Initiative
Since 2021, the Rotary Club of Charlottetown has been sponsoring 1 meal per month at the Upper Room Soup Kitchen in Charlottetown. 3-4 Rotary volunteers spend 2.5 hours once a month serving the cooked dinner at the soup kitchen. 
 
In 2022, the Rotary Club of Charlottetown proudly served 1090 meals!
 
A big thank you to Rotarian, Najam Chishti, who has spearheaded this initiative. Every month Najam purchases the food items needed and delivers it to the Upper Room. The meal is then cooked by staff and Rotary volunteers help serve the meal along with dessert, milk, juice, tea, and coffee. The menu is always healthy and different everytime and has been much appreciated by the guests. From spaghetti and meatballs to parmesan chicken with pasta, the meals are always nutritious and delicious!

Farmers Helping Farmers

Fighting Disease/Saving Women and Children (Kenya)

This project is led by a number of globally-minded people on Prince Edward Island and farmers in Kenya. Presently approximately 70 Mwende
women cook over open fires in enclosed kitchens quite often with their babies on their backs. The properly vented wood-stoves help prevent respiratory disease for both the women and their babies and youth. The project provided funds to purchase over 40 cook stoves totaling over $10,000.00 for Kenyan women.
