The Queen City Rotary Club has suspended our breakfast meetings due to COVID-19. We will continue to monitor and assess the situation and hope to resume as soon as safely possible. In the meantime, we are meeting each Thursday morning via Zoom. If you are interested in attending one of our virtual meetings, please reach out to a current member.
A big thank you to everyone who joined us or supported the Comedy Bowl in any way. It was a fantastic evening with lots of fellowship and laughs. We'll post the results of our fundraising efforts as soon as we have them!

Congratulations to Manchester Police Officer Sean McKennedy as Queen City Rotary Club's 2019 Officer of the Year! Officer McKennedy has made an impressive impact to his department as well as youth in our community within a short 5 years on the force. A very well deserved award! In addition to receiving this award, a $500 donation was also awarded to Manchester Police Athletic League in Officer McKennedy's name.
Congratulations to Bill Larkins, this year's recipient of the Queen City Rotary Service To Youth Award. Thank you Bill for your devotion to coaching and mentoring so many youth in our community!
