What does our club do?

Want to know more about the causes that our club supports? Read this booklet that we put together to explain to new members what Rotary is all about. But to sum it up in a phrase..."Service above self!" We put on events to raise money for serving others, and we're all volunteers meeting at local businesses, so we have almost no overhead costs. Come join us for breakfast on Wednesday mornings at Southern Belles at 7am.

Operation Warm Coats

Help us supply new warm winter coats for students in Carpentersville. Drop us $20 on Venmo and another kid is good to go! Be sure to mention “Operation Warm” in the Venmo comment.

https://venmo.com/Carpentersville-Rotary

Or if you'd like to pay via check, please make checks payable to:

Rotary Club of Carpentersville, P.O.Box 946, Carpentersville, IL 60110

A new coat goes beyond a second-hand one to help foster self-confidence, school attendance and outdoor play on cold days. We want to give children a gift of warmth, confidence and hope so they are empowered to succeed.

Please help us support local children this winter by making a tax-deductible donation. Even a small donation will help us achieve our goal.

Movie description: A small but brave donkey named Bo yearns for a life beyond his daily grind at the village mill. One day he finds the courage to break free, and finally goes on the adventure of his dreams. On his journey, he teams up with Ruth, a loveable sheep who has lost her flock and Dave, a dove with lofty aspirations. Along with three wisecracking camels and some eccentric stable animals, Bo and his new friends follow the Star and become accidental heroes in the greatest story ever told - the first Christmas.
