History of Red Jacket Rotary Club
Red Jacket Rotary began in 1976 with the sponsorship of Canandaigua Club's Anthony Symigs and Henrietta Club's Jack King, along with 25 charter members. We still have an active charter member!
Through our fun and innovative fundraising efforts, Red Jacket Rotarians raise over $30,000 annually. Funds raised go to support community, national and international service projects. Over the past 10 years, Red Jacket Rotary has put nearly $200,000 back into our community.

Rotary Ethics are based on a "4-Way Test"
1. Is it the Truth?
2. Is it fair to all concerned?
3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
