Welcome!
Now in its 65th year, this show has a long, proud history that has allowed people like you to give back to our community. Your attendance here today is helping to raise funds that enable our club to do its work. It helps us fund service projects both locally and globally, provide grants to local nonprofits, community groups, and schools, and support Cape youth through scholarships so that they can follow their dreams.
We are now in the post COVID period and are looking to rebuild our Home, Garden and Lifestyle Show back up to its pre-COVID size. Keeping that in mind we have changed the format (1 day event), location (no longer at the BHS) and pricing (free admission) of the HG&L Show. We hope you are enjoying this new approach to our largest fundraiser of the year.
Representative projects we have been working on this year include the restoration of the Korean War Memorial in the Route 6 rest area, the Miles for Smiles road race which raises money to buy sneakers for needy children, donating to the CHAMP Homes holiday gift program, making blankets for the homeless, purchasing a handicap ramp for use at a recently disabled local resident’s home, holding a Taylor Swift concert ticket raffle to raise money for children’s programs and more! We continued our support of nonprofit programs through our grants program, and still maintained our scholarship program. All of this was made possible through supporters like you and the active work of our Club.
I joined the Hyannis Rotary Club in 2015, filled with excitement at the chance to support local giving efforts, and I never imagined the kindness I would witness from Rotarians and the community, and the collaboration across generations. The Hyannis Rotary Club is making a difference. We are opening opportunities, and we are serving to change lives. By being with us today, at our Home & Garden Show, YOU are making a difference as well and I hope you will continue to find ways to do so. We need more difference makers.
With gratitude,
Dennis Miller

“I
extend my deepest thanks to every volunteer, every organization, and every business who supports us by buying ads, exhibiting, donating goods and services and more. We could not do it without you!”
The Rotary Club of Hyannis was the first Rotary Club on Cape Cod, founded in 1925, and has been a network for professionals and leaders for over 98 years. Today, our members serve the Hyannis community in many ways, including fundraising for scholarships, grants, literacy programs, and other hands-on service projects.
The Home, Garden and Lifestyle Show, our largest fundraiser, has enabled us to fund college scholarships for high school and community college students, partially fund a canine support facility at the Barnstable Police station, buy books for school children, support the local soup kitchen, cover renovation costs for such programs as Champ Homes and Independence House, donate blanket kits for local homeless people through the Federated Church, and contribute with other Rotary Clubs across the Cape to help fund Habitat for Humanity and the Bloodmobile for Cape Cod Healthcare. We also support our club’s district, 7950, in its efforts to educate and tackle such issues as the opioid crisis that has affected communities across our country, including our own. Finally, we work on international projects such as clean water for Haiti and donating to bicycle safety awareness campaigns in Costa Rica.
This year’s event continues our long tradition of bringing our community together as we provide another opportunity for local residents to meet and greet local home repair, landscape and garden contracting firms to see the latest innovations and trends.
Hyannis Rotary, a nonprofit membership club, has no paid staff. Members and other volunteers donate their time, energy and talent to make the Home, Garden & Lifestyle Show a huge success. All net proceeds from the show go to our Good Works fund, and, from there, back to our community.
On average, we raise over $60,000 to benefit the local community and to provide scholarships for graduates of Barnstable High School, Sturgis Charter Schools, Cape Cod Regional Technical High School and Cape Cod Community College. Please help us do that! Visit our exhibitors, buy some raffle tickets, and enjoy our 65th annual fundraiser, the Hyannis Rotary Home, Garden & Lifestyle Show.
Thank you,
Dennis Miller
