The Rotary Club of Belleville received its Charter (dated April 1, 1920) on Saturday, April 3, 1920. It was identified as Club 645 in District 4. We are now in District 7070. The Club's sponsor was represented by 22 members of the Rotary Club of Toronto, who travelled to Belleville by private railway car for this express purpose. They were entertained with motor car trips around the city, a reception at the Belleville Club, and the Charter Dinner and Banquet at the Hotel Quinte.Peter Malone
Welcome to the Rotary Club of Belleville!
Established in April 1920, the Club is grateful to its founding members and all those dedicated Rotarians who have followed in their footsteps for more than 100 years. An integral part of our local community and yet a spoke in the big wheel of Rotary International, we are part of a global organization of more than 1.4 million dedicated and proud Rotarians doing incredible work in the name of positive peace. In keeping with Rotary's theme for the 2023 - 2024 year, we seek to "CREATE HOPE IN THE WORLD".
Rotarians are 'people of action', we love our families, friends, neighbours and those around us in need of support. We love fellowship and fun, we love to make an impact in our communities and around the world.
Backed by Rotary's 7 Areas of Focus, a Rotary Foundation and a global network of passionate problem solvers, just imagine the impact you can have -- DO MORE THAN YOU THOUGHT POSSIBLE WITH ROTARY.
Like many service or volunteer organizations around the world, we feel the after effects of a global pandemic. The Rotary Club of Belleville is especially excited this year to embark on a journey to 'Refresh Rotary'. To engage members in new ways, to excite and ignite the talents of existing and new members. We are setting the groundwork for the next 100 years and next generations of Rotarians. It is our passion to continue the legacy provided by our founding members and to always place Service Above Self.
We strive to create an environment where Diversity, Inclusion and Equity are not just words, but a way of life. We believe in development of youth as an important leadership strategy for the future of Rotary, both locally and globally. We care about providing a voice for our members and opportunities to make a difference -- we look forward to welcoming you to our Rotary Club of Belleville.
