Our Global Mission
Rotary is founded on the idea that real, sustainable change happens when people work together. Across the globe, Rotary clubs are tackling some of the most pressing issues of our time, including:
-
Promoting peace through dialogue and understanding
-
Providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene to communities in need
-
Supporting education and reducing illiteracy worldwide
-
Protecting the environment through sustainable practices and conservation projects
-
Growing local economies by supporting vocational training and entrepreneurship
This global mission is supported by the Rotary Foundation, which has funded billions of dollars in humanitarian projects.
Our Local Impact
Here in Smithtown, we live Rotary’s values every day by serving our neighbors and strengthening our community. Our club supports projects such as:
-
Feeding the hungry through donations and volunteer work with the Smithtown Food Pantry
-
Supporting the Gift of Life program, which provides life-saving heart surgery to children from around the world
-
Engaging youth and seniors with mentoring, support programs, and volunteer outreach
-
Hosting educational and motivational speakers that inspire members and guests alike
Our club members are dedicated people who share a passion for both community service and friendship. Becoming a Rotarian connects you with a diverse group of professionals who share your drive to give back.
Our members don’t just donate—they roll up their sleeves, get involved, and experience firsthand the joy of giving back.
The Rotary Experience
Being a Rotarian is about more than service—it’s about connection, growth, and fulfillment. Members find lifelong friendships, professional networking opportunities, and the personal reward that comes from knowing their efforts are making a real difference.
When you join the Smithtown Sunrise Rotary, you become part of something bigger than yourself. You’ll be welcomed into a global family that stretches across borders and cultures, all working toward a brighter future.
Join Us
We meet every Thursday morning from 7:45–8:45 AM at the Smithtown Millennium Diner. Our meetings are filled with friendship, good food, engaging discussions, and plenty of laughter. Guests are always welcome—except on the last Thursday of each month when we hold our private business assembly.
If you have a big heart, a humble spirit, and a passion for service, we’d love to meet you. Come join us for breakfast, learn more about what we do, and see if Rotary is the place where you can make a difference
