Service Committees
The Hutchinson Rotary Club lives the Rotary International
motto: "Service above self." We focus on local as
well as international needs.
We encourage all members to serve on a committee or service
project.
Sign up now for a committee
or project.
Earthquake Relief
The Hutchinson Rotary Club was the driving sponsor behind "Hutch for Haiti" - a community food packaging event with Numana. We raised over $47,000 and packaged over 50,000 meals for the starving people in Northern Haiti.
Tree Projects
In October 2010 the Hutchinson Rotary Club partnered with the Hutchinson Tree board and planted trees in Pyle Park across from City Hall. In September 2009, we also partnered with the Tree Board and planted trees around the East side of the Fairgrounds.
Honor Flights
Working with Central Prairie Honor Flights, the Hutchinson Rotary Club raised enough money to send 3 veterans on "Honor Flights" to see their war memorials in Washington DC.
Centennial Clock Contribution
To commemorate Rotary Internationals centennial anniversary
and the Hutchinson clubs 90th anniversary in 2005, we
donated a 15-foot clock tower to Hutchinson Community College.
The tower stands on a two-tiered
brick base and chimes sound on the hour and half-hour. Click

Annual grants
Grants are distributed yearly to nonprofit organizations in
Hutchinson and Reno County. Funds are raised through contributions,
special fund-raising efforts and Special Recognition at our
regular meetings. Grants (pdf) totaling $18,000 were distributed
this year to 17 groups.
PolioPlus
Funds raised by Special Recognition at club meetings and other
contributions are given regularly to PolioPlus,
Rotary International's worldwide effort to eradicate polio.
Benefit Golf Tournament
Proceeds from our annual benefit golf tournament are contributed
to a nonprofit organization or cause as designated by the
board of directors.
Group Study Exchange
We support the Group Study Exchange Team program sponsored
by our district. A team from our district travels to another
country, and a team from that nation visits our district to
enhance cultural understanding.
Organ donation
Organ donation has been championed by our club for several
years. The promotion was launched by a highly successful registration
drive. Click

Volunteerism
Members, representing the Hutchinson Rotary Club, have participated
in YouthFriends and volunteered to help other service programs
that serve a variety of needs in our community.
Tsunami Relief
Many members contributed to this effort through Rotary International.
