Our Club has been serving this community for
almost 90 years when it was chartered on March 21,
1917. Frank W Hulett (for whom Hulett Square in
Lewiston is named) signed an application for membership
in the International Association of Rotary Clubs.
The club began with 25 members. Today we have
approximately 100 members representing the business
community of the Lewiston - Auburn area of Maine. We
meet every Thursday for lunch on the noon hour at the
Ramada Inn in Lewiston.
Rotary
is an organization of business and professional leaders
united worldwide who provide humanitarian service,
encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and
help build goodwill and peace in the world. In more than
160 countries worldwide, approximately 1.2 million
Rotarians belong to more than 29,000 Rotary clubs.
The main objective of Rotary is service — in the
community, in the workplace, and throughout the world.
Our club has committed itself to helping local
organizations, especially where children are involved.
We have annually awarded scholarship funds in the amount
of $6,000 for area students. Internationally
we are in the process of building a library in the
Philippines. Thousands of books collected
throughout Maine have been packaged and shipped.
The construction of the library is now taking place and
collectively through our club, District 7790 and Rotary
International, over $75,000 have been raised to make
this project a reality.
