The Cannons at Compo Beach Will Be Restored as Rotary's Gift to the Town One of over 27,000 similar units located in 173 countries, the Westport Rotary Club was founded in 1924. Its members are business and professional men and women who have been invited to join in the name of service to their local, regional and world community.
Members also give of their time and skills to local work efforts.
Given a need, the Westport Rotary Club is there to help, whether it is serving dinner at the homeless shelter, repairing homes or contributing both time and money in the construction of the playground at Compo Beach, bus shelters at Canal Park and Bulkley Avenue, the Rotary Pavilion at Camp Mahackeno, etc. The Club maintains a charitable foundation, the Westport Rotary Foundation, which awards funds to many local human service programs such as The Family Center, STAR, Nature Center, Staples High School and others. We also maintain the Westport Rotary Club Trust Fund which provides grants and loans for educational aid to deserving Westport students. Like more than 1.2 million other Rotarians throughout the world, Westport members are dedicated to the good of the community.
