Our First Lady President sends her first message
Whether you are a long-time supporter of Rotary, visiting us for the first time, or simply curious about what we do, I am delighted you have found us.
It is a great privilege to serve as President of Wellington Rotary Club this year, and I am especially honoured to do so as the first female President in our club’s 97-year history. While this is a proud milestone, what matters most is the opportunity to lead a club whose members are united by a shared commitment to service, friendship, and making a positive difference in our community.
Rotary is about people coming together to create lasting change. At Wellington Rotary Club, we are passionate about supporting local initiatives, contributing to international projects, and building strong connections through fellowship and service. We believe that even small acts, when combined with the dedication of many, can have a meaningful impact.
Our club welcomes people from all walks of life who share a desire to give back, make new friends, develop new skills, and become part of something bigger than themselves. Whether you’re interested in becoming a member, volunteering at one of our events, partnering with us on a community project, or simply learning more about Rotary, we would love to hear from you.
I hope this website gives you an insight into who we are, what we do, and the difference we are making together. Better still, come along to one of our meetings or events—you’ll always receive a warm Wellington Rotary welcome.
Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to meeting you.
Additional styles of membership
Did you know that Rotary is looking to return to its roots as businesses and other organisations become Corporate Members? A business/organisation can join as a member of an existing club or several in a community may choose to form a new club.
One individual of the business/organisation becomes a full member of the club and up to three others from the business/organisation can also enjoy the fellowship of the club and participate in all club events.
Individuals who do not feel that club life is for them are able to join the Rotary family as a Direct Member. Direct Members will be registered with a District Hub. The Hub will keep them informed of projects and events in the local area being run or assisted by Rotary which they can choose to participate in.
If you are non-member reading this and would like to learn more about Rotary in Wellington and around the world, please contact us.
Wellington Rotary meets at The Pheasant Inn at Admaston (TF5 0AD) for its weekly Friday lunchtime meeting at 1pm.
