Rochester Rotary was founded in 1954 and now with 100+ members. Rotary International is the oldest and largest service organization.

At Rotary, we have no tolerance for racism. Promoting respect, celebrating diversity, demanding ethical leadership, and working tirelessly to advance peace are central tenets of our work.

We know there are no easy fixes and that challenging conversations and work lie before all of us. Rotary’s strength has long been our ability and commitment to bringing people together. We will tap into that strength now as we stand with those who are working for peace and justice. 

Meadowbrook Center for Learning Differences is a 501c3 that has been in the community for thirty years.  We have helped thousands of children throughout that time and believe we can remove barriers to learning.  All of our teachers are degreed tutors and have experience working with students from Kindergarten to College.  We have worked with students that have various learning challenges such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism, closed head injuries and more.
