Our Club is one of two Rotary Clubs in The Village of Ridgewood, with members from Ridgewood, Glen Rock and Ho-Ho-Kus. We meet every Thursday morning at Fratelli Trattoria in the heart of the Village across from beautiful Van Neste Square. Our club consists of over sixty active members and is one of 49 clubs in District 7490, which has a total membership of 1,419 Rotarians.
Based on the Object of Rotary, the Four Avenues of Service are Rotary's philosophical cornerstone and the foundation on which our club's activities are based:
- Our Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the effective functioning of the club.
- Our Vocational Service encourages Rotarians to serve others through their vocations and to practice high ethical standards.
- Community Service covers the projects and activities the club undertakes to improve life in its community.
- International Service encompasses actions taken to expand Rotary's humanitarian reach around the globe and to promote world understanding and peace.
Using the Four Avenues of Service we are involved in a variety of social events within our membership to promote goodwill and better friendships. We believe in the highest ethical standards when we do business and encourage others we do business with, to do the same.
We award scholarships to local young people, provide financial assistance to non-profit groups that need our help, and can always be found supporting community based projects.
