Welcome to The Dover Rotary

The Rotary Club of Dover, NH, offers opportunities for our members — and those interested in making a difference — to get involved. Through meetings, social events, and volunteer projects, our members learn about the issues facing our community and communities all over the world, partnering with local, national, and global experts to exchange ideas about potential solutions and to draw up action plans to respond. Along with these opportunities to serve, members also are able to regularly network, resulting in lifelong friendships and business connections.

Our club is a proud part of this community and of Rotary International. Rotary is a global network of more than 1.2 million members who believe that great things happen when dedicated minds come together. We are community and business leaders representing different professions, experiences, and perspectives but with a shared desire to connect with others to address the challenges affecting our community and communities around the world.

Dover Rotary Meets with Dover Mounted Patrol
Rotary Meets Dover Mounted Patrol

From their saddles, high above the gathered Rotarians, Mounted Patrol Officers Michelle Murch and Joe Caproni told the story of two amazing animals, their intense training, and the volunteers/donors who make this 20-year old program a staple in downtown Dover.

Officer Murch noted the mounted patrol provides a positive police presence in Dover. They regularly visit homeless locations, checking for those who need extra help, offering many of the services available from the city. Officer Caproni said this was one of the hardest parts of their jobs - finding people who are not making good decisions. They do what they can. They also give out tickets while on patrol.

The Rotary Club of Dover would like to thank Officers Murch and Caproni for taking the time out of the schedule to meet with us and explain what a great resource the Dover Mounted is to the community.
