Since 1925, the Rotary Club of Williamsville has a proud and demonstrated history of service not only in Williamsville, but also Western New York and the world. 

In Amherst, the Club provides annual scholarship funds for Williamsville high school seniors, since 1987 participates with the Amherst Symphony Orchestra on a competitive musical scholarship to an Amherstonian, funds for the Amherst Youth Foundation, funds for international relief programs, such as a health clinic in Haiti (the poorest nation in the western hemisphere) and much, much more.  Since 1988, the Club, together with its The Rotary Club of Williamsville Foundation, Inc.
