Henrico North Rotary - A Message from the Club President

We are a small club of 25 members but have huge hearts for our community! We were chartered on December 11, 1991 and are engaged every month of the year in our local community. Our diverse intimate membership is comprised of professional and community leaders who strive to exemplify the Rotary motto of "Service Above Self" in their daily lives. We provide service to our community while taking the time to have a little fun!

The Henrico North Rotary Club is primarily focused on local needs however we participate in international projects through Rotary International as well. Our members have tremendous opportunities to reach out to those in need locally and to those across the globe. A few of our projects include providing scholarships to J. Sergeant Reynolds students; cook hotdogs for the ALS Walkers; we launched a “Riders for Readers” event with Laburnum Elementary School; we provide “back to school” book bags to homeless elementary students; bright beginnings; we will participate in Feed My Starving Children this year assisting Gayton Baptist Church; yard cleanup; working with the Christmas Mother in a family oriented Christmas event where we help collect and distribute gifts for needy area children; Food Drive; Nothing but Nets providing nets to reduce Malaria in Africa, Central, and South America; and finally we cheer for the Special Olympics right here in Henrico County just to name a few things.

On the national scene we are involved in Polio Plus, a worldwide Rotary project to eradicate polio throughout the world. A recent effort has gone to bringing fresh water through wells globally, and last year we partnered with two other clubs and provided a Jeep for the Midwives in Haiti.

I am so excited and humbled to have the opportunity to lead such a caring and remarkable bunch of people. The true experience of Rotary is not just in the projects or the contributions, but it’s in the fellowship of its members. Henrico North Rotarians are truly extended family, we truly look out for each other, and that is what makes our club unique from anything that I have ever been a part of. So, with that said, let us go forward in service to others, blessing those who we can, remembering that we are able to bless others because of the blessings given to us by our true guide, God above.

Sincerely,

Rob Northern
