Welcome
Rotary Club of St. John's East
WHO WE ARE
The Rotary Club of St. John's East was chartered on June 4, 1993 through sponsorship from the St. John's Rotary Club. Since that time our membership has more than doubled to between 60 and 70 members at any given time. As early risers, we meet 7:30 am every Friday morning at the Cabot Club restaurant in the Sheraton Hotel Newfoundland in downtown St. John's. Humour abounds within our membership and our meetings are widely viewed by visiting Rotarians and guests as being very upbeat and entertaining. St. John's East has a reputation as being a very forward looking club which makes a valuable contribution to improving the lives of those less fortunate at both the local and international level. In recognition of its efforts, during the 2006/07 Rotary year, St. John's East was recognized as the outstanding club in all of District 7820 which encompasses some 46 clubs throughout Atlantic Canada.
WHAT WE DO
Some of our key initiatives include the Adopt-A-School program through which our members become directly involved in enriching the lives of elementary students in inner city schools. Our Rotary Read-Along program involves Rotarians and friends visiting schools throughout the Avalon region to read to the students. As well as providing the opportunity to meet the students and promote literacy through this interactive approach, the program contributes thousands of dollars in reading materials to enhance and upgrade library materials at each school visited. Our Christmas Hamper project is an annual event which provides our members and their families with a hands on opportunity to help improve the quality of life for many needy families during the holiday season. Through our Club Foundation, the St. John's East Rotary Club has donated more than a half million dollars to charitable and needy causes over the years. To provide the financial resources to help fund the many projects we undertake the club holds one major annual fundraiser. Wheels & Deals is that annual event and, as of 2009, it is held on the Saturday nearest February 14 (Valentine's Day). This gala evening is viewed by many as the premiere fundraising event within the capital region and is the one project in which all club members are expected to participate. For more details, we invite you to view our Wheels and Deals website.
