WELCOME TO THE ROTARY CLUB OF ORANGE

Founded in 1968, the Orange Rotary Club of Connecticut is a volunteer organization of business and professional women and men who want to make a positive difference in the community. We are a hands-on club, helping those in need in Orange, across the greater New Haven region and around the world. Our passionate members are dedicated to the Rotary motto, ‘Service Above Self.’

We annually provide more than $50,000 to area charities and organizations thanks to our fundraisers. The money we raise goes to food pantries and veterans groups, youth programs, literacy programs, senior care and scholarships.

We invite you to a meeting to get to know us or to learn more about membership contact:
