Welcome to the Web page of the Rotary Club of Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania.  Our URL is slipperyrockrotary.org, and our mailing address is P.O. Box 505, Slippery Rock, PA 16057. The purpose of this page is to tell you a little about ourselves, stimulate your interest, and perhaps to ultimately have greater interaction between you and our club.

Our club is small but mighty! In the 2025-26 fiscal year we have 31 members. This year the President of our club is Bradley Smith.

We are a service organization, which means that our principal purpose is doing good. In the local area we support: a beautification program called Slppery Rock in Bloom, the Slippery Rock Volunteer Fire Department, a Red Cross Blood Drive, PennDOT’s Highway Cleanup, Slippery Rock Village Fest, the Rotaract Club at Slippery Rock University, Slippery Rock Police, the Halloween Parade in Slippery Rock, Salvation Army Bell Ringing, and Harrisville’s flower planters, and Transitions Healthcare Autumn Grove.

We support other Rotary Clubs and nearby service organizations as well, including Pitt’s World Affairs Council, Shelterbox, the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) program, the Rotary Outstanding Vocational Award (ROVA) program, and District Governor Projects.

As a part of Rotary International, a club like ours can leverage its influence and impact beyond the local. There are 1.4 million Rotarians worldwide, in some 33,000 local clubs.  The clubs get to know one another and to cooperate by being grouped into Districts.  Worldwide, there are 530 districts, each headed by a District Governor. We are in District 7280, whose clubs range from Punxsutawney to Cranberry to Erie This year our DG is Aaron Sines, a member of the nearby Mercer Club.

The President of Rotary International for 2025-26 is Francesco Arezzo, an orthodontist from Ragusa, Italy. He will host an International Convention in Taipei, Taiwan, in June of 2026.  Last year the RI President was Stephanie Urchick, from the Rotary Club of McMurray, Pennsylvania. Her Convention was attended by 15,000 Rotarians from around the world in Calgary, Canada.

Rotary International’s Foundation helps to fund and administer projects around the world, including Slippery Rock Rotary Club’s work in Lukaya, Uganda. But its biggest priority is the total eradication of Polio from the world.
