Important Scheduling Announcements

Niles Rotary puts the health and well-being of its members and the public above all else. Due to concerns about the coronavirus (COVID-19), and in accordance with recommendations, guidance, and directives from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the State of California, and Alameda County, we no longer are having our weekly meetings in person. Instead, we are conducting them virtually, on-line, using Zoom. You can join the meeting every Thursday at noon. We hope to see you there!  To receive the Zoom Invite please email us at:info@nilesrotary.org

Our Reverse Raffle Fundraiser, previously scheduled for August 8, 2020, has been rescheduled for March 20, 2021. The venue, Campo di Bocce in Fremont, remains the same. A notification will be sent to everyone who has purchased a ticket.

Our Mission

The Mission of the Niles Rotary Club of Fremont is to build meaningful friendships and build members up while we serve our local community as well as the world at large. We affect real change with real people interactions. We believe there is value by meeting in person each week, serving locally through hands-on projects as well as monetary donations and serving internationally with human development projects.

What is Rotary?

Rotarians bring intelligence, financial resources and willing hearts to help others grow, become more healthy, support themselves and build stronger relationships with others. Rotarians create meaning for life.

 

Who Are We?

When we see a need, we don’t just look — we organize and take action to make this community, region, and world better because we are here. We are religiously, politically, and financially diverse. We act in unity and feel like a second family to each other.

 

Why Join Niles Rotary?

To bring goodness to others… to do business with people you know and trust… to develop relationships with community business and civic leaders… to develop leadership and speaking skills… to gain exposure to diverse cultures and beliefs.

 

Welcome from President Dirk

Welcome to Niles Rotary! I am honored to be club President for the 2020-2021 rotary year. Our Rotary International President Holger Knaack’s theme for the year states: Rotary Opens Opportunities….among those include the ability to allow each of us to bloom as a Niles Rotarian! As I celebrate my 37th year in business as a retail florist as well as my 13th year as a Rotarian, I’ve known of the work of Niles Rotary both locally and worldwide since I was a child. It likely comes as no surprise that I chose “Niles Rotary Makes US Bloom” as my theme for my rotary year.

Looking at the rich 83 year history of Niles Rotary, I am constantly reminded why Rotary helps make US the best we can be. Being a Rotarian brings out what is naturally within each of us. It provides an avenue to channel our actions into tangible community and world changing projects that make our world a better place. Whether we are eradicating polio or providing wheelchairs in Mexico, Niles Rotary Makes Us Bloom! When we traveled to Chile to help build an orphanage, Niles Rotary Makes US Bloom. When we care for fellow Niles Rotarians in their time of need or we are painting maps on area school playgrounds, we Bloom in Rotary. Coming together at the Candelighters Ghost House or helping at the Fremont Festival of the Arts, Niles Rotarians Bloom!
