Being a Rotarian, is membership in a global network of 1.4 Million "People of Action"

 

We are problem solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change across our globe, in our communities and in ourselves.

 

The Rotary Club of Charlottetown Royalty is one of two clubs in Charlottetown, and is best known for being the "breakfast club" . With the Rotary motto of "Service Above Self",  we meet weekly at 7:15 am, every Wednesday morning to network, and hear amazing speakers on topics of relevance to our community and the world. We plan and engage in fundraising activities to support worthwhile causes both here and  internationally, to assist the less fortunate.

 

We are a diverse group, that invites you to consider membership to broaden your network, in a welcoming environment. Your membership will provide enrichment to your life, by working with like minded people in providing service to others.

 

Are you a "Person of Action"?
