Who We Are – The Rotary Tonic Club
Our Rotary club is part of a global network of 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
Tonic: Rotary After Five is Hamilton’s newest club, honouring the service traditions of Rotary International but with a twist. Our meeting times, formats and overall culture are geared to busy people who want to get things done. We’re working on food security, career skills for at-risk youth, free consulting to local organizations, and more. We do not carry out large-scale fundraising but focus more on community projects/service.
Our mission
We provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.
