Allendale Rotary partnered with Engine House No 5 Museum for a fantastic event on October 24th called Ca$h for Community!  One lucky ticket holder from the 300 advanced ticket sales was chosen to receive $1,000 through a reverse raffle the evening of the event.  Congratulations to Becki Visser!  

Inspired by Dolly Parton's belief that a little imagination, a lot of heart, and the power of community can change lives.  Rotary put a fun spin on that idea. 

A great way to come together for an evening of country spirit, community, fun and giving- all to support the people, projects and causes that make a difference here in our community and around the world.  

Thank you to all that came out to enjoy the night and purchased tickets for the reverse raffle along with purchasing items from the silent auction!  It was a successful evening of fundraising and fellowship!

Rotary Interact - Another Successful El Salvador House Build - 2026!

For over 20 years, High School Rotary Interact members have traveled to El Salvador on spring break to build houses in a small village an hour's drive into the mountains from San Salvador.  This year 60 went on the trip from Allendale High School as well as several other area schools and seven houses were built.  This brings the total to over 225 houses!
