Bourne-Sandwich Rotary - A Message from the Club President

business and professional women and men who either live or work in or near Bourne and Sandwich.. Linked with over 32,000 other Rotary clubs in more than 168 countries comprised of over 1.2 million members, we are helping to build goodwill and peace worldwide through our humanitarian efforts. Our club was chartered January 1954. Rotary International has been in existence since February 23, 1905!

As Rotarians, we dedicate ourselves to our community as well as mankind through our motto "Service Above Self". Our club members fulfill this mission through the many service projects in which we participate. We raise money to carry out our service mainly through our annual car shows that we hold at Upper Cape Regional Technical School in Bourne from June to September.

We welcome new members all year long. Please join us any Thursday at the Canalside Restaurant at Upper Cape Technical School. Drop us an email or give us a call if you would like more details.

President Edwin “Mac” Smith
