Welcome to the Pawtuxet Valley Rotary Club Website! We are a non-profit organization with the goal of bettering the communities of Coventry, West Greenwich and West Warwick. We achieve this goal by fundraising through events and with the support of fantastic businesses and our fellow neighbors. Please look around for pictures of past events as well as dates for upcoming events. We also welcome guests to our meetings as speakers. If you have been looking to become involved in your hometown, the state of Rhode Island, the New England region, the United States or to make a difference somewhere else in the globe, we firmly believe Rotary is the community service-minded organization which works! Again, welcome to our site and we hope to see you soon!
