Despite negativity sometimes getting more of the spotlight, the demand for opportunities to help others is high. People want to be able to give back, millenials will gladly lend a hand or make a donation, and people around the world are doing amazing things to serve others. In Rotary, our motto is Service Above Self, but that doesn't have to mean volunteering is demanding of your time. It just means that volunteering is in your heart!
In the Baldwinsville Rotary Club, we seek out ways to play to our members' strengths. Opportunities with us are not one size fits all, nor are members expected to overextend themselves. If you wish to do the hands on work, we always need volunteers for the day of events and fundraisers. If you wish to take the lead on a project, we are always seeking new and fresh ideas (and we have many opportunities for leadership training!). If you want to make new friends or get to know your community better, attending meetings will help you connect with fellow Rotarians and meet leaders from our area. However you wish to serve, we can facilitate that, expanding your impact exponentially with the power of our 60-member group!
The future of service is flexibility and we're doing just that. Contact us at bvillerotary1@yahoo.com if you are interested in learning more!
Coming up in 2019...
The B'ville Big Chill
On Saturday, January 26th we join together with the Greater Baldwinsville Chamber of Commerce for a fun fundraiser that includes a polar plunge, Best in Bowl food tasting and Poker Bear Pub Crawl throughout the village. It's a hyper local event that showcases our local businesses and raises money for great causes! Click here for our Facebook event so you can learn more, join and share!
Social Events
Baldwinsville Rotarians develop real friendships and enjoy spending time together, so our fun committee puts together opportunities for members to get together just to have a good time. Coming up for the new year we have a Soup 'n Snowshoe event at Beaver Lake, we will be trying out our detective skills in an escape room and will have our annual paint and sip event. We hope you will consider one of these fun activities for your first visit to our group so you have ample time to socialize and get to know everyone!
