The Rotary Club of Nashua is the longest serving professional community-service group in Nashua and celebrated 100 years of service, commemorated with a Gala on October 15 of 2021. The keynoter of that celebration (via Zoom) was Jennifer Jones, who at that time was incoming President of Rotary International. She will serve at this international organization’s first woman President.

Some major projects our local Club has brought to the community are: Rotary Common, which is the home to a beautiful Labyrinth ; the Bandshell at Greeley Park; Rotary outdoor swimming pool next to Fairgrounds Elementary School; support of Community Hospice House in Merrimack; and on the international level has supported Polio Eradication, Pure Water for the World, and educational support of midwives in Guatemala, among many projects over the decades.

Solving some of the world’s most complex and pressing problems takes real commitment and vision on the local level.
