Rotary Club of Somerset named Large Club of the Year in District 7305

The Rotary Club of Somerset has been named Large Club of the Year for District 7305. This honor recognizes the club’s significant contributions and dedicated service to the community over the past 12 months.

The Rotary Club of Somerset’s year included a $10,000 district grant project at Somerset Lake, for which the district provided a matching amount. Eight benches, four planters, a new welcome sign and landscaping at the roundabout were installed. The club started an EarlyAct Club and helped organize a Rotary Third Grade Spelling Bee at Eagle View Elementary, among various other volunteer projects throughout the community. The club also donates tens of thousands of dollars each year to other charitable projects and causes that help the community.

The club averages 95-100 members per calendar year, making it typically the largest club in the district, which includes clubs from Pittsburgh.

“It has been an honor and privilege to serve as the 2023-24 president of the Rotary Club of Somerset. Our members truly take the motto ‘Selfless Service’ to heart. They are caring, compassionate, and committed to making our community and world a better place,” said Amy Baglio, past president.

The Rotary Club of Somerset thanked its members for their efforts and the community for their continued support. Anyone interested in joining the club should email Deb Hoover at [email protected] or Rita Halverson at [email protected].

“It was an honor to receive this award. It shows what a group of nearly 100 members can accomplish by sharing their time, talent and treasure with their community,” said Harold Shaulis, who took over as club president on July 1.
