Welcome to the Rotary Club of Amherst. We are a group 19 Rotarians celebrating 35 years of service within our local, regional and global communities as part of the Rotary International global network of 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and have taken action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves. Our club was chartered on May 20, 1988 by Rotary International.
Rotary is certainly about “Service Above Self”, but that doesn’t rule out the fun, camaraderie and deep sense of satisfaction we find in our activities. We host a Halloween Fest for over 3000 local residents at Buffalo Niagara Heritage Village, clean up Young’s Road followed by a picnic, host a holiday party at the long-term care facility at ECMC with a visit from a different Santa. Last time it was Elvis Santa who entertained, passed out gifts and led us in song. Providing food for local pantries and the Great Lakes Watershed Project are popular with our members. Our Sporktoberfest (a spring Oktoberfest) at Park Country Club and Autumn Moon Dance at Buffalo Yacht Club are enjoyed by all. Our meeting feature interesting speakers, social events, and Professor Phil “the smartest man in the world”.
