Rotary Joins the Fun at Schaumburg Township Trunk or Treat
Posted on Oct 27, 2026

 

Our Rotary Club had a spooktacular time participating in Schaumburg Township's October 22nd Trunk or Treat! 👻🚗

From creative costumes to smiling faces and lots of candy, it was a wonderful afternoon and evening connecting with local families and celebrating our community.

We loved greeting trick-or-treaters, sharing Halloween fun, and showcasing Rotary's commitment to service and community engagement.

A special thank you to Schaumburg Township for organizing such a fantastic event and to everyone who stopped by our trunk. We enjoyed every moment and can't wait to see you at future community events!

A Night of Recognition and Rotary Fellowship
Posted on Oct 22, 2026
 
Our members enjoyed vibrant fellowship last night—complete with Lou Malnati's pizza and plenty of laughter.
 
Club President Tom Cunningham also recognized several members who went above and beyond in their support and service to the club and the community during the 2025-2026 Rotary year.
 
We were proud to celebrate three of our newest members, who joined in March & August 2025 respectively, and have already made a meaningful impact in their first year of membership.  
 
A great evening of connection, gratitude, and Rotary spirit!

Schaumburg AM Rotary is pleased to announce that a Rotary Foundation Global Grant Scholarship has been awarded to Araha Uday, a Schaumburg High School alumna and 2026 Stanford University graduate, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Economics and a minor in Mathematics.

Our club proudly sponsored Uday for this prestigious award, which supports graduate students pursuing Master’s or PhD programs abroad in fields aligned with Rotary International’s seven areas of focus: promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water and sanitation, improving maternal and child health, supporting education, growing local economies, and protecting the environment.

Global Grant Scholarships may fund one to four academic years, covering tuition, living expenses, books, and travel.

She will continue her academic journey at the University of Cambridge, where she will pursue a one‑year Master of Philosophy (MPhil) degree in Economics.
