Welcome to the Rot
ary 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. The Club raises most of its funds that supports its programs and support for the community through the Tuesday evening Rotary Radio Bingo.
It has been said that Rotary is quiet men and women doing great things in quiet ways. I invite you to consider joining this incredible network of 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.
Many of our club meetings are televised on Eastlink Podium TV. We are very grateful for the opportunity to let the community know how much work we are doing in our community and the people who come to share their stories. We have our own radio show, Rotary Radio Bingo, on CFCY 95.1FM; as well as a large social media following. In addition, our Club has a distinguished history of entrepreneurship with 9 of our members inducted 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 every 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.
Proudly serving the community as a Rotarian,
Martin Ruben, President, 2019-20

Our latest Rotarian of the Month is Angus Orford. Angus and his fellow committee members have ensured our Remembrance Day commemoration continues to be an esteemed tradition in our club. His dedication to creating a program that highlights specific areas of recognition makes each year a special event.
Angus is also one of two Rotarians representing our club on the Learning Centre project. His counsel on this item has been very helpful as we go through the process to find a place for Rotary in this worthy endeavour.
Thank you Angus, for all you do for the Rotary Club of Charlottetown.
We were pleased to donate $500 to 95.1 FM CFCY’s annual Christmas Miracle Campaign. This worthy fundraiser provides gifts to children in need during the holiday season.
