3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

Membership

The main objective of Rotary is Service.  Service in the community, in the workplace and throughout the world.  Our members are comprised of men and women who volunteer to better their community.  To keep our club strong, Rotarians must share the responsibility of bringing new people into Rotary.  Good club fellowship and involvement in service projects are two of the best ways to sustain the club's membership.By participating in club projects members learn about their club's involvement in the local and international projects and can volunteer their time where most needed.

Club History

In the latter part of 1924, Rev. George E. Osgood attended a Rotary Club meeting in Providence, Rhode Island.  He was greatly impressed and decided North Attleboro should have such a club.  He invited a few men to meet with him in the director's room of the Manufacturers National Bank.  Several of these meetings were held and in conjunction with Mr. George E. Withington, Sr. of Providence, and Mr. Elmer E. Hubbard of Pawtucket, the then incoming District Governor of the old 31st District in which North Attleboro would be included, plans were formulated to start the North Attleboro Rotary Club.  The charter was obtained from Rotary International and on May 11, 1925, the Club was chartered at a gala affair held in Grace Church Parish House.

Please consider supporting your local chapter either by joining or donating so that we can continue to support the many important programs and events within our community. Thank you for your continued support.
