November is Rotary Foundation Month which celebrates Rotary's charitable activities around the globe and in our community. Carlise Rotary has supported a clinic in Thika, Kenya, a water and sanitation project in Togo West Africa, and the building of houses in Ecuador just to name a few recent projects. All of these were partially funded by the Rotary Foundation.
Next month, we will host our annual Holiday Auction and Dinner with the Carlisle Sunrise and Sunset Clubs on December 12, 2025 at the Carlisle Country Club starting at 6pm. The auction proceeds will go to support Bethany House this year: Unite for Good!
Why not stop by and see what Rotary is all about? Better yet, bring a friend.
On Monday October 13th, the Rotary Club of Carlisle held its Golf Tournament at the Carlisle County club. We had a wonderful group of golfers from around the area and all to share in giving back to our community.
