 | Gordon Boothroyd receiving the charter from Tom Wilkinson |
On June 18, 2002, our first President Gordon Boothroyd received our Charter from then District Governor Tom Wilkinson at Fox Meadow Golf and Country Club. This special day was the result of many informal meetings led by our sponsoring club, the Rotary Club of Charlottetown Royalty in the winter of 2001/2002.
Much of the groundwork was done by Rotarian Gordon Harper ( the 'Gordfather' of the Rotary Club of Stratford) and Past District
Governor Duncan Conrad. They brought together a number of local
business people, professionals and residents of the community of
Stratford and 26 men and women showed interest in forming a Rotary Club
to meet on Wednesday evenings for dinner and fellowship.

Over the years our fundraising efforts have grown, and our mulch
sale has become hugely successful, raising over $23,000 in 2006. We
have had several other successful fundraising efforts including
production of a map of Stratford which generates advertising revenue.
Other fundraisers have included a calendar lottery draw.
As our fundraising efforts have grown, we have been able to support
a number of projects including: Stratford Youth Can Do, Camp Gencheff,
the Upper Room Soup Kitchen; Farmers Helping Farmers, Broadway Bound,
Stratford Scouts and many more.
