Rotary Club of Slidell Northshore

Welcome to our website! We hope you find the Rotary Club of Slidell Northshore website to be informative and simple to use. Our motto for this year is "Make A Difference" to support Rotary International President D. K. Lee's motto "Make Dreams Real".

If you are a visiting Rotarian, welcome to Slidell, Louisiana
We’d be delighted to have you join us at our weekly meeting. We meet every Tuesday morning from 7:30 until 8:30 at the Pinewood Country Club, 405 Country Club Blvd. Y’all come for your make-up meeting, bring a flag from your club (and get one of ours), and experience some of our Southern hospitality!

Our July 4th Slidell Heritage Festival started the 2008-2009 Rotary Year with a bang, featuring fireworks, bands, and food of all kinds. The event is a joint effort of both local Rotary clubs, the City of Slidell, and the Times-Picayune newspaper. Proceeds support local charities. Check out the Slidell Heritage Festival website.

On Saturday, October 11th, our club will be sponsoring its first ever Rotary Skeet Shoot at the Covey Rise Lodge in Husser, LA, north of Robert. The 4-man sporting clays competition will include a barbecue dinner at the lodge, team and individual awards, door prizes, and a shotgun raffle. There will also be an area for 5-stand warm-up and 4-person flush competition. Event sponsorships and station sponsorships are available for the tournament.

The proceeds go toward our Olde Towne Slidell beautification and economic development project, a Rotary Clock Tower, to celebrate our 25th anniversary as a chartered Rotary club. The clock will display the Rotary logo, is backlighted, and chimes on the half-hour. Our Silver Anniversary Celebration will be held on March 27 and will include a celebration picnic and the unveiling of the Rotary Clock Tower on 2nd Street, Griffith Park, near the new City Hall complex.

The last major fundraiser of the Rotary year is our Seventeenth Annual Golf Classic on April 3, 2009. The event had over 120 golfers last year at Oak Harbor Golf Course and netted over $15,000 for charities and other worthy causes in the community. We will have a silent auction, door prizes, and awards.

We also have 50-50 raffles, sweet potato sales, and football pools during the year to generate revenue for our service projects.
