Happenings in Gainesville – Haymarket
Welcome to The Gainesville-Haymarket Club
Rotary is a global network of 1.4 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
The Gainesville-Haymarket Rotary Club has been serving the Gainesville, Haymarket and Western Prince William County community since 2002. We are an organization of business and professional leaders united within our community who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.Submit an application for membership: MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION
Youth Protection Policy
District 7610 and GHRC strive to create and maintain a safe environment for all youth who participate in Rotary activities. To the best of their abilities, Rotarians, Rotaract members, their spouses and/or partners, and other volunteers must safeguard the children and young people they
encounter and protect them from physical, sexual, and emotional abuse.
The following practices should be followed by all Volunteers when interacting with youth and
other vulnerable persons:
or one vulnerable person.
b. The entrances to enclosed spaces should be, where practicable, open, or, at the least,
other persons should have the ability to observe what is happening in the room.
c. One-on-one interactions between an adult and a child should only occur within the
sight or sound of another adult, to the extent that it is possible.
d. If a child or other vulnerable persons requests a one-on-one interaction with an adult,
the adult must inform the other adults about the interaction and where it will take
place.
e. Without prior approval, photographs, videos, and films of children and other
vulnerable persons may only be produced with the permission of their parents,
guardians, or other responsible persons and, generally, may not be posted on social
media.
f. Adults are prohibited from showering or bathing with children, or other vulnerable
persons unless they are assisting a person who is incapable of showering or bathing by
themselves. In such a case of adult assistance, more than one adult should be present.
Any adult to whom a program participant reports abuse or harassment must:
-Assure privacy but not confidentiality.
-Get the facts, but do not interrogate.
-Avoid asking “why” questions, which may be interpreted as questioning the young person’s
motives.
-Be nonjudgmental and reassured.
-Emphasize that it was not his or her fault and that it was brave and mature to come to you.
-Document the allegation.
-Protect the young person and report immediately.
If you will be involved with youth in other than a casual basis (casual means basically no supervisory, oversight or care-taking responsibility for a youth, see the Policies and Procedures document), you may need to have a background check. Also, approval by the Board is required to participate in an activity that has more than casual involvement. Contact the Club’s Youth Protection Officer (Greg Street) if you have any questions.
GHRC Youth Protection Policies and Procedures is available on DACdb or through the link below. Everyone should review the document.

Discovery Rotary in Public
The Manassas Rotary Club invites our members to help support their Rotary Booth sharing about ROTARY to guests visiting Old Town Manassas on July 4th. The outreach event will run from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM, and you’re welcome to stay afterward to enjoy the fireworks. Hope to see you there!
Getting to Know YOU
Our GH Rotary Club is a community of like-minded servants, but sometimes we don't know each other well. During Rotary Year '26-'27, we are dedicating the first Wednesday club meetings to hearing from our members. These talks will focus on your background, dreams and why you became a Rotarian. Please sign up for a time! You'll have 10 minutes and share the meeting with one other Rotarian.

Everyone deserves a place to call home.
Right now, more than 100 million people around the world have lost their homes to disaster and conflict. ShelterBox is working to change this. By providing emergency shelter, tools, and household supplies to displaced families after a disaster, we enable families to begin to rebuild and recover, transforming despair into hope. Our club has supported this Rotary International Disaster Relief partner for many years and is proud to be a SILVER HERO this current Rotary year, which means the club and/or individuals in the club have donated over $3,000. We can become GOLD at $5,000, so CLICK DONATE below toward GOLD!
