The M-E Rotary Club has been fortunate to provide $10,000 annually in Scholarships for the past several years as a result of the generosity of members of the Manchester and Essex communities. The M-E Rotary Club holds three major fundraisers throughout the year to support our Scholarship Fund and mission of giving back to the community: the Kentucky Derby Auction in early May, the Red, White and Blue Pancake Breakfast at Tuck’s Point over the July 4th holiday, and the annual Rotary Golf Tournament in October. Thank you for your continued support and we invite you to join us at each of these fundraisers in 2019.
