Welcome to Kittery Rotary After-Hours!
"SERVICE ABOVE SELF"
 
Around the world and around the
corner, 1.2 million Rotarians get
involved in their communities, connect
with other professionals, share their
time and experience with young people,
support global causes, and use their
skills to help others. 
 
Our club members are dedicated
people who share a passion for
community service and friendship.
Becoming a Rotarian connects you with
a diverse group who share your drive to
give back.
Whether you're a veteran volunteer or
new to community service, please
join the Rotarians of Kittery “After
Hours” for fellowship and fun as we
work together to serve our community
and the world.
We meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month, 5 pm at Hampton Inn & Suites Kittery.  Please join us!

An estimated 500 million people worldwide became infected. Many cities closed theaters and cinemas, and placed restrictions on public gatherings. Rotary clubs adjusted their activities while also helping the sick.

This is how Rotary responded to the influenza pandemic that began in 1918 and came in three waves, lasting more than a year.

Every hero has an origin story. “I was 10 years old when the entire journey started,” explains Binish Desai. It began with a cartoon called Captain Planet, an animated TV series from the 1990s about an environmentalist with superpowers. Desai can still recite the show’s refrain: Captain Planet, he’s our hero / Gonna take pollution down to zero! “That tagline stuck in my mind,” he says. “I wanted to do something to help Captain Planet.”
