The Rotary Club of Grande Prairie After Five is the newest Rotary Club in Grande Prairie, becoming chartered on July 18, 2012, with 33 members. This membership number has stayed consistent over the years, allowing for easy collaboration with other clubs and access to more granting opportunities. Though our numbers are smaller, you wouldn’t know it from our output. Rotary After Five members are very hands-on with our fundraising and community service initiatives, willing to put in the sweat equity for the causes that mean a lot to us. No matter the age of our members — young professionals just starting their careers or retirees looking for projects to keep busy — everyone contributes as much as they can.

Amongst our members are many whose professional backgrounds are in the education system. Current and past teachers, as well as superintendents and division employees, are within our ranks, inherently giving the club a passion for youth initiatives.

After Five meets every Wednesday at Delta Hotels by Marriott Grande Prairie Airport. The room opens at 5 p.m., with the meeting starting at 5:30 p.m.
