Events

We have been blessed with support from our community to help us do some beautification projects such as the recent dedication of the Tom Collins Memorial Rotary Trail at Village Park, 10 new bike stands throughout Garrettsville, making it easier to use the entrance to the hiking/bike trail entrance at State Route 82, sending students abroad to study and learn about other cultures, bringing in students from other countries to help them learn about us, working with Hope Town Recovery, supplying dictionaries to the 3^rd graders and so much more.

The exciting news is that in 2026 Rotary International will be celebrating 120 years of service. Your local Garrettsville-Hiram chapter will be celebrating 100 years of service, and we are the longest serving service organization in our community. We would love to have your input, ideas and suggestions as to what you would like to see happen in our area.

We would like to invite you and your friends and colleagues to join us for an informational evening on Thursday, May 15^th, 2025, from 5:30 PM until 6:30 PM at Garretts Mill & Brewing Company in the dining room overlooking the falls. We will be discussing the following topics, growth of Rotary, who may we help with our service projects, and we are interested in hearing your thoughts and ideas for future endeavors.

What would inspire you to be a part of this change? Please R.S.V.P. by May 12^th, to 330.416.6844 please feel free to leave a voicemail with your information.

Sincerely,

Your friends from

Garrettsville-Hiram Rotary

a brief educational presentation about youth with emergency needs in the Portage and Summit County areas who could use a little guidance and support.

Dean is a member of the Mantua Rotary Club and Past President. He will be speaking on the Mural he did for downtown Mantua and what he can do to help us with the Railroad abutment.

Discussing a Storywalk on the trail outside of the Garrettsville Library.  we think that this would be a great way to foster a community partnership between PCDL, Portage Parks District and the Rotary Club. The Storywalk stories would be updated and maintained by the library, and the physical upkeep would be maintained by the parks system. We believe this project would be long-lasting and have a positive impact on the Garrettsville/Hiram community.
