Welcome to the greatest, best looking, smartest, most fun Rotary Club in Allendale!

Highway Pickup… what a blast!  Our club has adopted M-45 on the eastern side of Allendale.  Three times a year we gather to pick up litter, etc from the roadway,  Super thanks to the Allendale High School Interact Club that helps.
Check out the photo albums to see some of the fun (?) stuff we've picked up!

Rotary District 6290 Governor Mark Andresky Visits our Club to help with the African Book Project.  Allendale Rotary will send over 2,000 books to Uganda, Africa to establish two new libraries.  Check out the photo albums for more photos.

Library Young Adult Area

The Rotary Club of Allendale provided $5000 to purchase new furniture for the young adult area in the Allendale library. This space is now welcoming, vibrant and encourages community and learning. The space is used to connect, tutor, study, relax, read and enjoy the library. It is a place of belonging. 

Berlin Raceway… Loud AND Fast!

Rotarians did a “Berlin Raceway Takeover” to earn money for local projects.  Check out the photo album for pictures of Rotarians in Action at this fun event.

African Library Project is beginning.  Club members are starting to sort and pack the books for distribution in Uganda later in the fall.  More pics in the photo albums.

Wow!  What a GREAT 4th of July parade! 
Super thanks to the planning team, the entire Allendale Rotary Club, the parade entries and of course the super sponsors!
