The Rotary Club of Nashua is the longest-serving professional community service group in Nashua and celebrated 100 years of service, commemorated with a gala on Oct. 15, 2021. The keynoter of that celebration (via Zoom) was Jennifer Jones, who at that time was incoming president of Rotary International. She will serve as this international organization’s first female president.

Some major projects the club has brought to the community include, Rotary Common, which is the home to a beautiful Labyrinth; the Bandshell at Greeley Park; Rotary outdoor swimming pool next to Fairgrounds Elementary School; support of Community Hospice House in Merrimack; and on the international level has supported polio eradication, Pure Water for the World and educational support of midwives in Guatemala, among many projects over the decades.

The Rotary Club of Nashua always is eager to invite others to join us and learn more. Help create lasting change; solving some of the world’s most complex and pressing problems takes real commitment and vision on the local level.

Rotary members believe that they share a responsibility to take action to improve communities. For more information about membership, contact Membership Chairperson Tony Martinez at tonym1346@gmail.com.
