The river otter is named:
“Rappahannock-Fredericksburg Rotary Club”
The Rappahannock-Fredericksburg Rotary Club is a group of more than 120 dedicated, professional leaders actively engaged in building a better place to live within our community. We are a proud part of the 1.4 million Rotarians around the world functioning as a force multiplier to promote peace, and to support humanitarian efforts, like the eradication of polio.
Since 1985, The Rappahannock-Fredericksburg Rotary Club has committed to service above self, by working together to build good will and better friendships. With projects and grants too many to list, our community service focuses on promoting peace, preventing diseases, providing access to clean water and sanitation, enhancing maternal and child health, improving education and literacy, and helping our community meaningfully grow and mature. It has been an honor for our Club to sponsor the sandstone benches to enhance the City’s new Riverfront Park, and to adopt this playful bronze River Otter to amuse the Rising Sun Tavern Historic District.
The Club meets every Wednesday at 7:15 a.m. for fellowship, breakfast and a program presented by a variety of influencers in our community. We offer expanded, flexible opportunities to practice “Service Above Self” through our Satellite Club., which meets twice a month, on every third Thursday evening for a business/program meeting, and at least one other time to perform community service projects.
We hope you will take a moment to learn more. Visit: www.RappRotary.org/
