Meet the New Canaan Rotary Club [Q&A]

By |

This month, NewCanaanite.com is publishing Q&As with local service organizations—volunteer groups that give back to the community while offering connection, camaraderie and fun. 

Today we feature the Rotary Club of New Canaan (whose hugely popular Lobsterfest is coming Sept. 27-28). 

Here’s our exchange with the nonprofit organization’s president, Amy Gildea. ***

New Canaanite: Please give us some background on the Rotary Club. How and when did the organization start. Amy Gildea: The Rotary Club was founded in 1905 in Chicago so members from diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas, establish friendships and give back to their communities.
