Dryden Rotarians support our community in many ways and in all kinds of conditions.
CKDR-Rotary Radio Bingo
The Rotary Club's biggest fundraiser runs on CKDR Radio on Thursday evenings from October to April. 
 
All bingo proceeds go to the Dryden Rotary Charity Foundation which has supported numerous Dryden and area organizations and activities with grants totaling over $2.5 million over the past 19 years.
Lucky Duck Race
2,000 rubber ducks 'racing' for shore in the Lucky Duck fundraiser. The 2023 race raised funds for Dryden's Special Olympians.
 
 
Rotary Community Garden
Constructed in 2022-2023, this garden will provide people the opportunity to grow their own fresh produce and contribute to food security.
Rotary Park
Our signature local project, Rotary Park, is home to a skate park, Dryden's main soccer fields, and the multi-use Dryden Soccer facility, complete with change rooms.
Highway Cleanup
Every spring Rotarians, families, and friends pull on their boots, put on their vests, and pick up their garbage bags to clean up a stretch of Highway 17 east of town.
Dryden Ice Dogs 50/50 Draw
The Dryden Rotary Charity Foundation (DRFC) and the Dryden Ice Dogs hockey organization partner for the 50/50 draw held at all home games.
