Our club, The Rotary Club of Oshawa-Parkwood located in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, in Rotary International District 7070 (in an area of Southern Ontario including Toronto, and stretching north to Alliston and east to Belleville), is part of one of the greatest service organizations in the world. 
 
Members attend Dinner Meetings held each Tuesday at 6:30 pm at the Oshawa Golf Club, 160 Alexandra St, Oshawa , where we gather in friendship, talk about upcoming events and service projects, and listen to guest speakers  (usually local and sometimes international leaders of our community).
 
Comprised of both young, dynamic, and dedicated newer members as well as devoted energetic and well respected long standing members of the community, the men and women of the Rotary Club of Oshawa-Parkwood aim to “make a difference” at home in Oshawa, in Ontario, throughout Canada and around the world, by devotedly living the Rotary motto "Service Above Self". 
 
Oshawa-Parkwood Rotarians believe also in the importance of being active in all seven Rotary Avenues of Service – Club Administration, Community Service, International Service, Vocational Service, and Youth Service (formerly called New Generations). 
The Rotary Club of Oshawa-Parkwood members not only vocalize their concern for the local community and abroad, they actively participate in finding unique ways to meet the needs of the many organizations and causes.
