Welcome to the Rotary Club of Hillsborough

Rotary is a worldwide organization of business and professional leaders that provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world. Approximately 1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than 32,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas.

Rotary club membership represents a cross-section of the community's business and professional men and women. The world's Rotary clubs meet weekly and are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds.

The main objective of Rotary is service - in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians develop community service projects that address many of today's most critical issues, such as children at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, illiteracy, and violence. They also support programs for youth, educational opportunities and international exchanges for students, teachers, and other professionals, and vocational and career development. The Rotary motto is Service Above Self.

Although Rotary clubs develop autonomous service programs, all Rotarians worldwide are united in a campaign for the global eradication of polio. In the 1980s, Rotarians raised US$240 million to immunize the children of the world; by 2005, Rotary's centenary year and the target date for the certification of a polio-free world, the PolioPlus program will have contributed US$500 million to this cause. In addition, Rotary has provided an army of volunteers to promote and assist at national immunization days in polio-endemic countries around the world.

The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International is a not-for-profit corporation that promotes world understanding through international humanitarian service programs and educational and cultural exchanges. It is supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and others who share its vision of a better world. Since 1947, the Foundation has awarded more than US$1.1 billion in humanitarian and educational grants, which are initiated and administered by local Rotary clubs and districts.

The Hillsborough Rotary Club will be holding its Annual Hillsborough Rotary Fair this year from Monday July 20th to Saturday July 25th at the township field next to the Lowes Shopping center in Hillsborough.  This will be the 2nd Annual Hillsborough Rotary Fair (formerly the Fireman’s Fair) and is one of the townships major community events.  The Hillsborough Rotary Fair is a six-day Carnival that attracts approximately 15,000 people over the six nights.

The Rotary Fair will feature 25 amusement rides by McDaniel Brothers Amusements, games, food, and tent vendors.  This year we have decided to have a pay-one-price wristband night every night.  We will also have nightly entertainment by local bands as well as demonstrations by area businesses such as karate schools, cheerleading and gymnastic demonstrations as well as other events.  We will also have Melzo the clown doing free face painting for our younger patrons.

This year we are proud to have Somerset Marine as our major corporate sponsor of the Hillsborough Rotary Fair.  Somerset Marine is a local business in Hillsborough that specializes in International shipping and transport.
