SANDPOINT- The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce welcomes the Rotary Club of Sandpoint.
“The Rotary Club of Sandpoint is proud to join the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce and its member businesses,” said Rotarian PR spokesman, Matt Kerr. Kerr then explained that, “the Rotary Club has been a part of Sandpoint since 1966 and has been a great supporter of our community over the years. Sandpoint’s Rotary Club is 70+ strong and part of the larger Rotary International organization, with 1.22 million members in 33,976 clubs in over 200 countries.”
Among the many local projects they’ve completed are playgrounds at Travers park, the patio at the library, stairs from Bridge St to the board walk, outdoor bathrooms at Farmin Stidwell, the Clock Tower at Farmin Park, assisted with funding for bathrooms at Jeff Jones Square, assisted with patio installation at The Daybreak Center, and a picnic shelter at Memorial Field. They also take pride in their scholarship program, sponsoring local students for over 20 years; this year they gave just over $17,000.
Their newest fund raiser, The Great Sandpoint Flatwater Regatta, is growing in attendance and popularity and should provide our community with even more in scholarship money in the coming years. Combined with our new 501 (c) 3 Charitable Trust, Facebook pages, Twitter feeds and website, Sandpoint Rotary is positioned to serve the citizens of Sandpoint and the Greater Sandpoint area for another 50 years and more.
Please join the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce in thanking the Rotary Club of Sandpoint for their great citizenship in our community and wish them success in the upcoming year and welcoming to the chamber. If you’re interested in getting engaged in the community and would like to learn more about joining the club, contact their membership chairman Toby McLaughlin for more information.
