The International Dinner is the Rotary Club’s premier event and fundraiser next to their annual Community Calendar sales and Fall Harvest Dance.

The money raised through these events helps to fund the club’s many service projects which include, dictionary’s and a bike safety class for local third graders; two scholarships for WHS seniors, sponsorship of candidates to Boy and Girls State, sponsoring the high school Interact Club, sponsorship of candidates to the Rotary Youth Leadership Academy (RYLA Camp), and the upgrade and maintenance of the historic fish pond in downtown Whitehall.
