The Water Ski Show and Extravaganza was born out of the ideas that fundraising can and should be fun and should incorporate the larger community. The proceeds of this event will go to charitable, non-profit entities that provide needed service to others. In the past several years, the Club has focused on literacy and education initiatives, public safety, and support and advancement of persons with disabilities, to name a few.
The mission of Rotary International is to provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through its fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders. The Rotary Club of New Britain-Berlin is one of 34,000 clubs around the world dedicated to this mission.
