The Object of Rotary
Rotary was established to encourage and foster the idea of service as a basis of worthy enterprise.
The Rotary Club of Enniskillen has the Killyhevlin Hotel as its location and, like all Rotary Clubs, runs a number of fundraising events throughout each year. The Club then awards the funds to various local and international charities. If you wish to find out more about us then contact us via our Secretary.
