“Service Above Self”

Rotary is a service organization of business and community leaders united worldwide.  Rotarians are making a positive impact in our local and global communities.

The Rotary Club of New London

Benefiting the community and our world through action, integrity, service, and fellowship.

The Rotary Club of New London is the oldest, most active and well-known service organization in the community. We are a leadership organization working together to make a difference. Our members include local business, nonprofit, professional and civic leaders. We form lasting friendships through our shared Rotary experiences including weekly meetings with interesting speakers, committee meetings and projects, social events and group service projects within our community and internationally.

Diversity & Inclusion

Having a diverse and inclusive Rotary Club means we value and welcome individuals of all ages, cultures, ethnicities, and races to our Club. We invite younger people, women, and minorities who support Rotary’s values, ideals, and mission to join our members in service to our community, and we strive to give all members equal opportunities to serve as leaders within our Club.

The New London Rotary Club recently bought and had installed new signs on the city's police department. The Navy signal flags spell out "Welcome to New London" on the side of the building that is located at a main gateway into the downtown business district. Thanks to Rotarian Rick Gipstein for overseeing this project.
