Hutchinson Rotary Club Service Projects:

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 International’s centennial anniversary and the Hutchinson club’s 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 here for photos and details.

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 here to learn more about registering as a donor.

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.
