As to regular meetings, we met at St. George's Inn for 31 years until July, 1954, when we  met for about a year and a half in the parlors of the First Baptist Church next door.  We also met a few times at Oakdale Tavern in 1955 until we finally selected the Yankee Silversmith in October of 1955.  We held our weekly meetings at the Yankee Silversmith for 35 years except for a few interruptions. We started meeting at My Cousins Place on North Main Street Extension on August 14, 1991 when the Yankee Silversmith closed.  We returned to the new Yankee Silversmith on July 26, 1995 when My Cousins Place closed.  On Wednesday October 2, 1996 we started meeting at the Wallingford Country Club.    We met for a time at 95 Gathering Place, and since 2006 we have met at Brother's Restaurant.

The Wallingford Rotary is made up of an assortment of young and old, men and women all of whom bring far more to the Club than their classifications might indicate. As a result, our meetings and events have always been best described as “spirited.”  We held a Grand Celebration On the 50th anniversary of the founding of Rotary in December, 1954.  Dr Jim Ferguson composed a parody of Gilbert and Sullivan tunes to commemorate each major event in Rotary International, supported by D. Norton Williams and Neal MacKenzie in singing.  Our Club held "Spelling Bees" in the 30's, members had to spell hard words or pay a fine.   An annual ski trip, hosted by Dave Hocking and John Mattingly, is a raucus affair which encourages camaraderie both on the slopes and in the ski patrol hut! 

In 2004, Rotary International asked each Rotary Club to complete a project for the community that would stand as a symbol of Rotary’s centennial year.  Roz Gallagher agreed to chair this project, and, after discussion with Club members, it was determined that the Club would construct a Pavilion at Doolittle Park, to be enjoyed by the residents of Wallingford.  Roz worked with Steve Lazarus and Sam Sargeant of Lazarus and Sargeant, Architects, Terry Wooding of Petra Construction Corporation, and various officials of the Town of Wallingford to develop the project. 

The finished pavilion is 25 feet wide by 40 feet long, providing space for up to 100 people.  Its cupola contains the Rotary Wheel, identifying the pavilion as a gift to the people of Wallingford from the Rotary Club of Wallingford. Its design fits perfectly with the Park, and it should provide a wonderful space for various Town events for many years to come.

In 2006, the Wallingford Public Library requested a grant from the Wallingford Foundation to  fund a portion of the addition at the Library.  This grant request was approved in August of 2006, with the Foundation agreeing to fund the Wallingford Rotary Children’s Reference Area.  This area contains all of the library’s reference materials for children, making it one of the most heavily used areas of the Library.  A plaque, located in the Reference Area, acknowledges Rotary’s contribution and provides a brief description of the Club.

The Foundation also agreed to fund a tile for the Library’s wall of history, which depicts the history of the town of Wallingford via a number of tiles, custom made by an artist selected by the Library staff.  Rotary’s tile depicts a historic view of Rotarians preparing for the Rotary Chicken Barbecue.

Today, our Club continues to thrive as we serve our community and our world.
