Upcoming Events

Grapes 4 Good

 

The wine flows and spirits are lifted as the gardens come alive at Watters Garden Center! Watters Garden Center is hosting Prescott Frontier Rotary's 19th benefit! On September 28th from 5-8 pm, the garden center transforms into "A Garden Party". All proceeds will go directly to Rotary community causes. 

The event is a beautiful evening filled with wine and live music. Twelve different types of wine and artisanal beers are available for tasting. The vibrant setting of northern Arizona's most beautiful garden center will feature a live auction with items such as vacation packages to Italy and exclusive golf outings. Tickets are $80 each. Buy 4 tickets for $300 and save $20.

Watters Garden Center is a locally owned garden center that supports small businesses, which they believe enrich our community. Watters specializes in providing expertise and products that help things grow in Arizona's mountains.

'Grapes 4 Good' on September 28th from 5-8 pm will support education, strong business ethics, better communities, the eradication of polio, and the improvement of leadership skills.

Walk to End Alzheimer's 

 
Walk to End Alzheimer's is the most significant event to raise funds and awareness for the care, support, and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association®. It’s held annually in more than 600 communities nationwide, and the Rotary Clubs of Prescott and Prescott Valley are excited to participate this year. 
 

Currently, more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's, and over 11 million family and friends provide their unpaid care. We need your help to end this devastating disease. You can make an impact with a donation or by joining our team.

To walk with us on Saturday, September 27, 2005, click the button below. If you're unable to walk, we welcome donations for this good cause. Your kindness and generosity truly make a difference in the fight against Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.

Service Project RecaP

Prescott Frontier Days Rodeo

 
Prescott-Frontier Rotary Club members exemplify service by supporting the World's Oldest Rodeo. This year, the Prescott rodeo celebrated its 138th anniversary, and all Rotary Clubs of Prescott and Prescott Valley teamed up in full force.
 
Wearing western gear and cowboy hats perched with purpose, the volunteers brought their signature mix of good humor, grit, and service. Your fellow Rotarians served as bartenders, covering all Rodeo bars on Saturday, July 5th.
 

But the Rotary Clubs' presence wasn’t just about hospitality—it was about heart. Each club donates proceeds from the rodeo concession stands to local charities, from youth leadership programs to veteran support services.

Many thanks to the Prescott Frontier Days staff for their hospitality, training and support! 

Food Sort

 
The Prescott-Frontier Rotary club showed up en masse in June and August at the Yavapai Food Neighbors Project Green Bag Collection site. Green Bag food June total for The Prescott Community Cupboard - 6,259 lbs!!!
 
The team unloaded bags from vehicles, emptied the bags, and sorted the food for distribution to local food banks. 
 
Braving the June heat, the group worked together forming an assembly line, packing up the donated food for the trucks.
 
Though it was hot, laughter filled the air, and a good time was shared with friends.
 
Mark your calendar - Saturday, October 11th is the next gathering, and you don't want to miss it!
 

Teen's Closet

 
In a heartfelt effort to support local youth in need, the Prescott-Frontier Rotary Club recently organized a successful collection drive of essential personal care items for the Northstar Youth Partnership’s Teen’s Closet program. The initiative reflects the club’s ongoing commitment to serving the community and making a meaningful impact on the lives of young people in the Prescott area.
