The Rotary Fish Fry – a Westerville social and fundraising tradition
Since 1968, the Rotary Club of Westerville has staged an annual Fish Fry & Bake in Westerville. The iconic local social event has helped the Club raise funds to invest in improving the Westerville community for more than five decades!
Please join us from 11:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Sunday, March 1, at the Otterbein University Campus Center for the Rotary Club of Westerville’s 2020 Fish Fry & Bake. It will be our 52nd Annual Fish Fry.
This event helps build the fund that facilitates the Club’s wonderful college scholarships awarded to well-deserving graduates of Westerville’s three public high schools plus St. Francis DeSales.
Nearly $500,000 in scholarships to local grads has now been awarded by the Rotary Club of Westerville to date, due to the generosity of Club members and members of the community patronizing our fundraisers. Please come out to enjoy a wonderful meal with your Westerville neighbors and patronize this great community event!
