Rotary Club of Clarke County

By
Recently the Rotary Club of Clarke County had the pleasure of hosting speaker Martha Reynolds at the Rotary meeting, where she shared insights about Barns of Rose Hill in Berryville. 


Martha discussed the history, mission, and upcoming events at Barns of Rose Hill, a vibrant cultural center that brings arts, music, and community programs to Clarke County. 

Located in the heart of Berryville, Barns of Rose Hill hosts concerts, art exhibitions, film screenings, and educational programs, providing a unique space for creativity and connection. 

We’re grateful to Martha for highlighting the incredible role Barns of Rose Hill plays in enriching our community!

Also recently, the Rotary Club of Clarke County presented Anne Cushman with a $1,000 check and four carts for the FISH Community Food Pantry. FISH of Clarke County , located at 36 East Main Street in Berryville, provides food, clothing, and support to local residents in need. 

To contact FISH or make a donation, you can reach them at [email protected]
