Welcome!
Thank you for visiting the Comstock Park Rotary. We are a group
knit together in bonds of personal friendship and service. We
represent many segments of the community as to be inclusive. Our
Rotary is part of District 6290 which
is made up of 62 Rotaries and 3,350 Rotarians covering the Michigan area west of
I-75 and parts of Indiana and Ontario. Together with other Districts, we are Rotary
International.
The Comstock Park Rotary was chartered in 1952. Since then, our
completed projects have enhanced the community in many ways. Our
most notable recent project is the restoration of Grotto Park adjacent to
the Grand Rapids Home for Veterans. Members of this small rural Rotary
raised nearly a half a million dollars in supplies and labor thanks to the
generosity of the entire West Michigan community.
Another recent community project was teaming up with KaBOOM!, Amway, and
York Creek to bring a playground to the nearly 600 children who live in
or near York Creek Apartments. Our main role in this project was
providing
leadership and coordination of the activities planned for the
installation day.
Two international objectives focused on by the Comstock Park Rotary are the
eradication of Polio and providing clean water to those in the world who
barely have anything else. We and Rotary International are so close
to achieving the first objective and so fortunate that we can contribute
towards the second. In February 2013, a group of Comstock Park
Rotarians will team up with Rotarians from Sparta and Cedar Springs to drill
a well near Acajutla, El Salvador. "No single factor
affects a community more than clean water. Every $1 invested in clean
water and sanitation returns $8 in saved time, productivity and decreased
health costs."
We welcome your contributions towards either one of
these projects, but better yet, why don't you join Rotary?
Other projects of the Comstock Park Rotary, as well as news and information
can be found elsewhere on this site. Thank you for visiting, Don't forget to friend us in
facebook to keep up with our
activities.
Our motto is obvious. "Service Above Self" We would love to
have you join us. For more information, e-mail us at
