ROTARY HOMETOWN HEROES
Our Tribute to Their Service
The Chatham Rotary Club and Town of Chatham VA are excited to bring you the 2022 Hometown Celebration. This will be a weekend of celebration, family fun presented by partnering community groups, concerts, and fireworks. This community-focused weekend will provide lots of opportunities to celebrate our great Town, County, and Nation. It is made possible through the generous support of our sponsors. This year, Saturday events are divided into two locations at two different times:

Downtown Chatham in the late afternoon.
The line-up for the celebration is as follows (with times are arranged to avoid the hot July afternoon sun.). Click the link to learn more about each event:

Making your Flag Dedication is a two-step process. First, purchase a flag to be flown in the Tribute Flag Field, and secondly, after the payment is made, dedicate the flag to state who is sponsoring the flag and who it is in honor or memory of.
The Chatham Rotary Club is proud of the relationship we have with our community. Our success as a club is due, not only to the strength and dedication of our members, but certainly also to the generous support of our community sponsors. These sponsors help us achieve our goals for the community and more. Please take a moment to visit our Sponsors Page, where you may also follow links to their websites.
